Correct answer: C). Coded in either DNA or RNA.
The instructions for making the new copies of the virus are coded either by the RNA or the DNA. The genetic material of the viruses are either the DNA or the RNA and they are known to contain the instructions for making the new viral copies. Before the viral replication, the virus gets into the cell. The viral copies of the virus are known to infect the host.
Hence, the correct answer would be option C.
