    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) which affects the liver. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the diseases can also be transmitted by sharing of injection needles, surgical instruments, etc., with infected persons, transfusion of blood, or from an infected mother to the foetus too.
