Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
HIV is transmitted through specific body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Sharing a meal with an HIV-positive person poses no risk because the virus cannot survive in saliva in sufficient quantities to cause infection and is not spread through casual contact. Options A, B, and D are all established routes of HIV transmission.
