Solution

The option that describes transmission by ingestion is "Eating undercooked food or drinking contaminated water". This is because ingestion involves taking something in through the mouth, which is what happens when you eat or drink. If the food or water is contaminated with a pathogen (a disease-causing agent), then this can lead to an infection.
