Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Anal intercourse is the highest-risk sexual behavior for transmitting HIV because the tissue inside the anus is more easily damaged and allows for easier transmission of HIV compared to the vagina or mouth. Kissing and vaginal intercourse have a lower risk of transmission, although it is still possible.
