Which part of the body does HBV affect?

  1. Heart

  2. Liver

  3. Skin

  4. Stomach

The correct answer is: Heart

HBV, or hepatitis B virus, primarily affects the liver. The other options, heart, skin, and stomach, are not typically affected by this virus. However, individuals with chronic HBV infection may experience skin manifestations, such as a rash or itching, as a result of their body's immune response. Additionally, long-term infection may lead to liver complications, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Therefore, the best answer is B Liver.
