    c. Epstein-Barr virus

    Explanation:

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common chronic inflammation which causes progressive disability due to the demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS). The antibodies made against myelin in multiple sclerosis cross-reacts with the proteins made by the Epstein Barr virus and thus, EBV has been implicated in the development of multiple sclerosis. Epstein Barr virus itself is a DNA containing Herpes virus.
