A.I.D.S stands for?

  1. Advanced Immune Deficiency Syndrome

  2. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

  3. Acquired Immunity Disease Syndrome

  4. Acute Immune Deficiency Syndrome

The correct answer is: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the correct expansion of the acronym. Advanced Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is incorrect because the word "advanced" is not part of the official expansion. Acquired Immunity Disease Syndrome (AIDS) is also incorrect because the word "disease" is replaced with "deficiency" in the official terminology. Lastly, Acute Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is incorrect because "acute" refers to a sudden or severe onset, while "acquired" means the disease develops or is acquired over time.
