Solution
The correct option is B ssRNA
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening infections and cancers to thrive. HIV is composed of two copies of positive-sense single-stranded RNA enclosed by a conical capsid. The single-stranded RNA is tightly bound to nucleocapsid proteins, p7, and enzymes needed for the development of the virion such as reverse transcriptase, proteases, ribonuclease and integrase. So, the correct answer is 'ss RNA'.
