C Correct answer
Explanation

A CD4 count of 200 or less indicates significant immune system damage and is one of the criteria for an AIDS diagnosis. At this level, the immune system is severely compromised and the person is at high risk for opportunistic infections. Antiretroviral treatment should definitely be started to restore immune function.
