Solution
The correct option is
B
CD8 T
HIV attacks the immune system by targeting the CD4 positive T cells which are important fighting of any kind of infection.
As the infection sets off the number of CD4 increases as the white blood cells are fighting of the infection.
When the threshold of CD4 drops below a certain level HIV develops into AIDs.
