  1. Secretion
  2. Ingestion
  3. Absorption
  4. Injection
  5. Inhalation
Explanation
Answer - A - All of the choices above are routes of exposure for poisons except secretion refers to the release of a substance from cells or a gland. Thus, it is possible for a poisonous animal or plant to secrete its poison, but the patient would then have to be exposed to that poison by ingesting it, absorbing it, inhaling it, or having it injected into their body (as occurs during a sting or bite).
