Ans: B
Feedback:
Infectious mononucleosis is caused by Epstein-Barr virus and is commonly transmitted through saliva. Once the B cells are infected, mononucleosis is diagnosed by the presence of heterophil antibodies in the blood. Infectious mononucleosis is a B-cell viral infection. Cytotoxic T cells attack the virus and limit the number of infected B cells without eliminating them.
