Solution
The correct option is D Nerve cells
Poliomyelitis virus multiplies in the nervous system. The virus can destroy nerve cells (motor neurons) which activate skeletal muscles. These nerve cells cannot regenerate, and the affected muscles lose their function due to a lack of nervous innervation - a condition known as acute flaccid paralysis. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
