Answer:

The correct answer is C. OIs are the common cause of death of people with HIV/AIDS.

Explanation:

Opportunistic infections are the infection that occurs frequently in those persons who have a weak immune system. A healthy immune system does not allow opportunistic infections to occur.

In HIV/AIDS, the immune system becomes weak due to the reduction in helper T Cells by the virus. This weekend immune system in AIDS allows the opportunistic microbes to attack and infect the body which further results in the death of the person infected with HIV.

Therefore it is true that opportunistic infections like cryptococcal meningitis, candidiasis, etc are common causes of death of people having HIV AIDS.

<h3><u>Surprising fact in Nutrition:</u></h3>

Nutrition is the science that studies with the food habit of the person and deals with the nutritional effect of each and every quantities of food components. There it's suggested that for a person, fat should consist of 10 to 35% of the total calorie content of food.

Fat has two components - saturated fat and unsaturated fat. Consuming saturated fat is very bad for health as it increases the chances of cardiac diseases and increases the adipose tissue content of body. But consuming the unsaturated fat is good which has just the opposite effects of saturated fat. It is cardioprotective in nature. My eating habits drifted from saturated fat to unsaturated fat due the fact learned from Nutrition.
