The correct answer is: 30%

After a percutaneous injury involving Hepatitis B, the risk of transmission is approximately 30%. This high risk of transmission emphasizes the importance of following proper infection control protocols and taking precautionary measures to prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens in a healthcare setting. This heightened risk of transmission is a significant concern due to the potential severity of Hepatitis B infection and the need for prompt and appropriate management following an exposure incident. Options B, C, and D are not the correct answer because they do not represent the accurate risk of Hepatitis B transmission following percutaneous injury.
