d. a person who practices abstinence, but drinks heavily

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

To determine who is least at risk of getting an STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection), we analyze each option:

• Option A: Protected sex with known people still carries some risk (e.g., condom failure, other factors).
• Option B: Taking schedule IV drugs (which are injected) can transmit STIs like HIV if sharing needles, and even without sex, needle - sharing is a risk.
• Option C: In a monogamous relationship with protected sex still has a small risk (e.g., condom issues, pre - existing infections in the partner).
• Option D: Abstinence means no sexual activity, which is the main route of STI transmission. Heavy drinking doesn't directly transmit STIs. So a person practicing abstinence (even with heavy drinking) has the least risk of getting an STI from sexual activity (the primary mode of STI transmission).

Answer:

D. a person who practices abstinence, but drinks heavily
