Answer:

B. Nervous Tissue

Step-by-step explanation:

When it multiplies in the nervous system, the virus can destroy nerve cells. These nerve cells cannot regenerate, and the affected muscles lose their function due to a lack of nervous enervation - a condition known as acute flaccid paralysis (AFP). But basically, it causes paralysis.
