C Correct answer
Explanation
The T helper cells (Th cells), also known as CD4 cells, are a type of T cell that plays an important role in the immune system, particularly in the adaptive immune system. HIV is a virus that attacks the CD4+ cells in the immune system. This destroys the CD4+ cells. When the number of CD4+ cells in your body is low, your immune system becomes weaker. This makes it harder to fight infections.

So, the correct answer is 'T-Lymphocytes'.
