Explanation:

STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) are typically transmitted through sexual contact, blood - borne exposure, or perinatal transmission. Sharing a dinner utensil does not involve the routes of transmission for STIs (like sexual contact, blood, or mother - to - child during pregnancy). Option A: Some STIs can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy. Option B: Indirectly touching sex organs can involve contact with infectious fluids or skin - to - skin contact that transmits STIs. Option D: Exposure to an open sore (if it's from an STI - related sore, like a syphilis sore) can transmit the infection.

Answer:

C. sharing a dinner utensil
