The answer is D) Lymphocytes (T cells) because HIV specifically targets/infects Lymphocytes so having a mutation to it keeps you from binding to it.

Answer: D) Lymphocytes (T cells)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lymphocytes, specifically T cells, are the cells that are targeted by HIV. The mutation of the gene in certain people prevents HIV from binding to the T cells, making them immune to HIV.
