The Correct Answer is B

The hepatitis D virus (also called delta virus) is a small circular RNA virus. The hepatitis D virus can only reproduce in humans if the hepatitis B virus is present. HDV is an incomplete virus that has HBV infection as a prerequisite. Superinfection by HDV leads to acute hepatitis and causes progression to liver cirrhosis in a significant proportion of HBsAg carriers.
