Solution

The correct option is A AIDS
AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). When a person is infected with HIV, the virus assaults the immune system and weakens it. As the immune system deteriorates, the individual becomes more vulnerable to life-threatening infections and malignancies. When this happens, the disease is known as AIDS. During pregnancy, labour and delivery, or nursing, HIV can be passed to the foetus or newborn.
