Solution

The correct option is A Thymus
Thymus is related to AIDS as it the first developing lymphoid organ whose main function is to develop immature T cells into immunocompetent T cells. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a disease in which there is a severe loss of the body's cellular immunity in terms of T cells thereby, greatly lowering the resistance to infection and malignancy.
