Answer:

B) Viruses are killing some of his B cells and becoming incorporated into the genomes of others.

Explanation:

Epstein-Barr virus causes infectious mononucleosis by following mechanism.

1) Epstein-Barr virus attaches to and infects epithelium of the throat where it replicates and causes pharyngitis.

2) Virions enter the lymphoid vessels and are carried to the lymph nodes. Some virions escape the lymphnode trap and are carried to the bloodstream.

3) Virions attach specifically to B lymphocytes and infect them, producing either latent infection or productive infection.

4)The infected B lymphocytes actively replicate and differentiate into cells producing random immunoglobulins.

5)T cells respond to infection and destroy the lymphocytes replicating EBV vitus.

6) Latently infected B lymphocytes become immortal. They are not attacked by T cells.

Much of the energy used by people in both rural and urban areas is used for the same thing. However, ____________________ is pra
Archy [21]
The answer should be agriculture.

Agriculture means farming of crops or the rearing of animals, either for their own use or for commercial purposes. Rural area means a place away from the city, opposite of urban areas, with little buildings and most likely have a smaller population.

On the other hand, construction and manufacturing most likely is going to be common in urban area, as urban area is more likely to have more buildings being built and most of the products are made in the factories in urban areas. Therefore, the only activity that is almost practiced exclusively in rural area is agriculture. Urban areas don't have much space and well environment for agriculture activities.

Agriculture activities can be energy consuming as some may require different machines to help with farming processes such as harvesting or irrigation.
