Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The drug AZT belongs to the group of drugs that is used in case of HIV. These class of drugs are known as Nucleoside analogues.

This drug interferes with the enzyme reverse trsncriptase which is used by the cells affected from HIV for the production of new viruses.

So, this drug reduces the activity of reverse transcriptase which reduces the chances of the cells to divide further to new HIV infected cell.

Hence, the correct answer is option A
