Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The most effective way for Jane to reduce the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection is to ask her customers to use a condom during sexual intercourse. This will help protect her from both oral and anal transmission of STIs. Avoiding married customers and only providing services to the wealthy will not necessarily reduce her risk of contracting an STI. Asking customers to take a warm shower before engaging in sexual activity may provide some benefit, but it is not as effective as condom use.
