Answers (1)

(a) AIDS

(b) Human Immuno Deficiency Virus

(c) T-lymphocytes

AIDS is a condition caused by an acute weakening of the immune system. It is the final stage of an infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is the virus responsible for causing AIDS. It attacks the body's immune system, specifically targeting T-lymphocytes (also known as CD4 cells), which play a main role in immune defense. T-lymphocytes are part of the body's adaptive immune system and help identify and eliminate infected or abnormal cells.
