- B. An infected mother cannot pass the virus to her baby.

Explanation
An infected mother can transmit HIV to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, so that statement is incorrect. AIDS is host-specific, may cause enlarged lymph nodes, and its transmission risk can be reduced or prevented through appropriate measures; students may select another option because prevention is not absolute without treatment and precautions.
