Solution

The correct option is C
Destroying of Helper T cells
When HIV attacks the host organism, they infect the cells of the immune system and destroys the T-helper lymphocytes or T-cells, which are crucial to the immune system and generation of the immune response. The HIV in the body is able to copy itself over and over through the reverse transcription mechanism, increasing its ability to kill CD4+ or helper T-cells and this is the first step in the occurrence of AIDS and development of the symptoms.
So, the correct answeer is 'Destroying of helper T cells'.
