Solution

The correct option is A T-helper cells only
The T helper cells are a type of T-cells that play an important role in the immune system, particularly in the adaptive immune system. They help the activity of other immune cells by releasing T cell cytokines. When the HIV infects the man it enters into the T-helper cells for replication and they utilize metabolic mechanism from T- helper cells. By the viral replication, T-helper cells get damaged and their number is gradually reduced.
So, the correct answer is 'T-helper cells only'
