Directions: In each of these questions, a paragraph is given that has a blank in it. Out of the given options, only one fits in with the context of the paragraph. Select that as the answer.

Focusing only on the metaphorical “trees” of the blood is a mistake.

Blood is both easy to collect and easy to preserve.

Explanation:

The word ‘but’ after the blank indicates that the correct blank should state a contradicting point. This eliminates option A.
Option C is incorrect as this talks about HIV genes etc while the previous and next statement focus on blood.
Out of options B and D, B is a better fit as it maintains the continuity of the passage and elaborates on why it is not a surprise that the research conducted on HIV focuses on the blood.
Hence, option B is correct.
