Answer: B

Explanation:

Cross contamination refers to the in unintentional transfer of bacteria or toxins from one individual or surface to another. The individual receiving or even the fellow giving out the cloth may be unaware of the risk involved in the transfer of such contaminated materials. Hence, the other individual is cross contaminated with the toxins originally carried by the individual wearing the cloth.
