The correct response is:
It copies the information for reproduction from RNA into DNA.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a retrovirus, which means it uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA genome into DNA once it infects a host cell. This is different from most viruses, such as the common cold (which is typically caused by rhinoviruses) or influenza (which is caused by influenza viruses), which generally replicate using their RNA genomes directly without converting to DNA.
