i would go with D but hey im bad  at this

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Her cells are functioning improperly.

Explanation:

When a body shows symptoms of fever and sniffles then there are high chances that the person is suffering from influenza or cold.

Under such conditions, a virus interferes with the DNA replication machinery of the host cell thereby interfere with the metabolism of the host. Because it interferes with the DNA replication mechanism, therefore, it also interferes with the mechanism of cell division.

This shows that the infected cell does not function properly as in the natural condition the cell use to function thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
