Solution
The correct option is D AIDS
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency syndrome) is caused by HIV
(Human lmmunodeficiency Virus, a retro virus). It mainly affects the
1-helper lymphocytes by infecting them. There is generally a long time
lag between infection and occurrence of symptoms. Because of lowering of
TH cell count, the person becomes vulnerable to
infectious microorganisms, that otherwise, wouldn't have caused any
disease (opportunistic infection). A major example of this is
tuberculosis. Weight loss also occurs in such persons.So, the correct answer is 'AIDS'.
