    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    You should always use condoms to protect yourself from STI's, however condoms may not always protect you from an HPV infection. There are two HPV vaccinations available that protect against some strains of cancer and wart causing Human Papillomavirus. The only true way to ensure you do not become infected with HPV is zero contact with another human - that's just not possible! Instead, you can limit your number of sexual partners.
