Solution
Julia is most likely worried about contracting listeriosis. This is because listeriosis is a foodborne illness that is particularly dangerous for pregnant women. It can be found in certain types of foods like soft cheeses (like bleu cheese) and processed meats (like salami). On the other hand, fruits and nuts (like grapes and walnuts) are less likely to contain the bacteria that causes listeriosis. Therefore, the correct answer is c. listeriosis.
