B Correct answer
Explanation

We should support people with AIDS rather than isolate or discriminate against them. HIV is not spread through casual contact, and social isolation worsens their suffering. The ethical approach is to provide emotional support, understanding, and access to healthcare. Asking someone to commit suicide is cruel, and hospitalization isn't needed just because of HIV status - they can live normal lives with proper treatment.
