B Correct answer
Explanation

FALSE is correct. HIV is a fragile virus that cannot survive for long outside the human body. It is quickly destroyed by heat, air drying, and exposure to light. HIV transmission requires direct contact with infected body fluids inside the body - the virus dies rapidly in dry air.
