Which of the following causes cervical cancer?
- A.
HIV
- B.
HPV
- C.
HSV
- D.
HBV
Correct Answer
B. HPVExplanation
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is the correct answer because it is a well-known and established cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that can lead to the development of abnormal cells in the cervix, which can eventually progress to cervical cancer if left untreated. Other options like HIV, HSV, and HBV are not directly linked to cervical cancer. HIV weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections including HPV, but it is not a direct cause. HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) causes genital herpes, and HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) causes liver inflammation, but neither are known to cause cervical cancer.Rate this question:
