The answer is C) antiretroviral therapy.

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) are medications to treat HIV. Antiretroviral medications are a group of drugs which inhibits the HIV replication process. Drugs suppress HIV infection but they does not remove HIV entirely from the body. Therefore, the medications do not kill or cure the virus but used to prevent the growth of the virus results into slow down the HIV disease. Antiretroviral drugs are referred to as ARV. ARVs have been consistently proven to reduce death due to HIV.
