Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C) AIDS compromises the body's immune system.

Explanation:

The HIV is a virus which, when untreated, attacks the infected person's T cells. Those cells play a vital role in our immune system, defending our bodies against pathogens.

AIDS is the syndrome caused by the HIV after it has compromised the immune system (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). That means a person with AIDS gets sick much more easily than someone who doesn't have the syndrome. That's why it is important for people with HIV/AIDS to keep their hands free from germs as much as possible. Their bodies have trouble fighting the diseases those germs can bring, so they must do their best to prevent them.
