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.
