The correct option is D RNA + protein
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which has a viral envelope, matrix proteins, and core. The viral envelope consists of two layers of lipids with embedded proteins. Matrix proteins are present between envelope and core. The viral core consists of two single strands of RNA for its genome
So, the correct answer is 'RNA + protein'
