C Correct answer
Explanation

Both symptoms described are common manifestations of HIV/AIDS. The whitish coating (thrush) is caused by Candida fungal infection, and purple spots (Kaposi's sarcoma) are a type of cancer associated with advanced HIV. These occur because HIV weakens the immune system, making patients susceptible to opportunistic infections. Therefore option C 'Both' is correct.
