Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Helper T-cells are the component of the immune response that is crippled in AIDS.HIV can destroy CD4 cells by direct virus cytotoxicity and indirectly through the host response against HIV-infected cells or gp120-targeted cells.
Cells of the macrophage lineage are generally not destroyed but serve as a reservoir of the virus. HIV also causes functional impairment in T cells, B cells and monocytes.
