A
Kills the mitochondria in your cells.
B
It infects them with a virus
C
They don’t effect cells.
D
Stops your cells from reproducing.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Once you’re infected, viruses invade host cells within your body. They then use the components of the host cell to replicate, producing more viruses. After the replication cycle is complete, these new viruses are released from the host cell. This usually damages or destroys the infected cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once a virus gets into a host’s body, it travels along the surfaces of cells until its proteins begin to bind with receptors on the cells. The virus and the cells then fuse, allowing the DNA or RNA inside the virus to enter the cells, where it begins to reproduce.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pathogens are microorganisms that have the potential to cause infectious diseases. Viruses, bacteria, protozoans and fungi are all potential pathogens.
