Indirect transmission involves the spread of pathogens via an intermediate object or person. These include items such as medical instruments, door handles, or even healthcare providers' hands that have become contaminated and are not cleansed properly between patients. The correct answer identifies indirect transmission as the process where the infectious agent is transferred through a contaminated object, which distinguishes it from direct transmission (person-to-person contact) or other forms not involving a contaminated intermediate.
