The option that MOST likely caused Anna's poliovirus infection is She didn’t thoroughly wash her hands after using the restroom. Poliovirus is primarily spread through the fecal-oral route, which includes contaminated hands or surfaces. Sharing dirty needles can transmit bloodborne pathogens, but it is not the primary mode of poliovirus transmission.
