Phineas got a tattoo over the weekend.

Explanation:

Hepatitis C is caused by the HCV virus, transmitted mainly by contaminated blood, especially during sharing of syringes, needles or manicure, pedicure, tattoo and piercing instruments. Infection can also be transmitted through sexual and perinatal contact (from mother to child) during pregnancy and childbirth, but these are much less frequent.

The tendency is for patients to develop a chronic form of the disease that leads to serious liver damage. The evolution of the disease is usually slow and the diagnosis late.

As stated above, hepatitis C can be transmitted through needles used in tattoos. These needles must be disposable because an infected person's blood can transmit a variety of diseases, including hepatitis c.

Among the options given in the question above, the only one that shows one way Phineas may have contracted the disease is "Phineas got a tattoo over the weekend."
