The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the therapeutic use of Azidothymidine (AZT). We need to identify the condition or disease that AZT is used to treat from the given options. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: RNA containing viral-borne disease. - **Option 2**: Anaphylactic shock. - **Option 3**: Autoimmune disorder. - **Option 4**: Calcium deficiency disease. 3. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - **Option 1**: AZT is known as an antiretroviral medication primarily used in the treatment of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which is an RNA virus. Therefore, this option is relevant. - **Option 2**: Anaphylactic shock is an acute allergic reaction and is not treated with AZT. This option is incorrect. - **Option 3**: Autoimmune disorders involve the immune system attacking the body's own cells and are not treated with AZT. This option is also incorrect. - **Option 4**: Calcium deficiency disease pertains to a lack of calcium in the body and is unrelated to AZT treatment. This option is incorrect as well. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 1: RNA containing viral-borne disease**, as AZT is specifically used to treat HIV/AIDS. **Final Answer**: Azidothymidine (AZT) drug is useful in the treatment of RNA containing viral-borne disease (HIV/AIDS). ---
