d. a person who practices abstinence, but drinks heavily
please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are mainly transmitted through sexual contact. Abstinence means no sexual contact, so the risk of getting an STI from sexual activity is eliminated. Although heavy drinking has its own health risks, it is not a route of STI transmission. Option A still has sexual contact (even if protected and with known people, there is still a small risk). Option B: taking schedule IV drugs (if not through unsterile injection - but the main risk factor here compared to D is that D has no sexual contact. Option C has sexual contact (even with protection in a monogamous relationship, there could be a risk if one partner was pre - infected).

Answer:

D. a person who practices abstinence, but drinks heavily
