Answer: 2. T\(_{II}\) cells

Key idea: HIV enters macrophages and helper T-lymphocytes.

Inside the helper T cells (T_H) the virus makes DNA with reverse transcriptase, which integrates into the host DNA. The cell then produces progeny viruses. Eosinophils, B-lymphocytes and basophils are not the main sites. The option printed as T_II is read as T_H, so option 2.
