Viruses can enter the body through various routes, but commonly they enter through the **intestinal tract** (such as through contaminated food or water) or through the **respiratory tract** (by inhaling respiratory droplets). Once inside, they can spread through the **bloodstream** to other parts of the body.
In this context, the options you listed suggest that a virus can enter the body through the **intestinal tract** or by infecting a **cell** directly, and then it can spread via the **bloodstream**.
So the best answer would typically be **intestinal tract** if we're thinking about initial entry points for many viruses.
