The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a fatal disease that reduces the immunity of the body. This means we are looking for a disease that significantly weakens the immune system and can lead to death. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - TB (Tuberculosis) - Typhoid - Syphilis - Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **TB (Tuberculosis)**: While TB is a serious infectious disease, it primarily affects the lungs and does not directly reduce the overall immunity of the body. - **Typhoid**: This is a bacterial infection that can be serious, but it does not specifically target the immune system. - **Syphilis**: This is a sexually transmitted infection that can have severe health consequences if untreated, but it does not primarily reduce immunity. - **AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)**: This is a viral infection caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It specifically attacks and destroys white blood cells (CD4 cells), which are crucial for a healthy immune response. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the only disease that is fatal and significantly reduces the body's immunity is AIDS. 5. **Final Answer**: The answer to the question is **Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)**. ---
