Answer: D
Notes:

The infectious nature of the coronavirus and its effect on various body organs depends on the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).

The ACE2 is a functional receptor on cell surfaces through which coronavirus enters the host cells. These receptor cells are highly expressed in major body

organs like heart, stomach, lungs, kidneys and liver. In short, the ACE2 serves as an entry opener for the virus to the body organs.
