Explanation:

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that spreads through the fecal - oral route, often due to poor hygiene or contaminated food/water. Children and young adults are more likely to be exposed in settings like schools, day - care centers, or through social activities that may involve less attention to hygiene practices (e.g., sharing food, not washing hands properly). Older adults, pregnant women, and middle - aged men do not have the same level of exposure risk as children and young adults for hepatitis A.

Answer:

A. Children and young adults
