Answer»

Correct option is (d) Helper T cell

For explanation I would say: HIV or Human IMMUNE deficiency Virus infects the Helper T CELLS present in the BLOOD. It recognizes the CD4 proteins on the surface of the helper T cells and THUS infects it. By doing this, HIV manipulates the very cells which activate both B cells and Cytotoxic T cells.
