The correct answer is: Disease causing bacteria or viruses carried through the body in blood or body fluids

Bloodborne pathogens refer to disease causing bacteria or viruses that are carried through the body in blood or body fluids. This definition excludes options B, C and D because they do not accurately describe bloodborne pathogens. Option B refers to pathogens found on the surface of the skin, not specifically carried in blood or body fluids. Option C refers to bacteria present in the air, not necessarily carried through the body in blood or body fluids. Option D refers to viruses transmitted by insects, not specifically carried in blood or body fluids.
