I don’t know what the options are, but remember viruses are:

-nonliving (they cannot reproduce without a host)

-surrounded by a protein coat

-composed of DNA or RNA

-able to live for years

-unable to thrive outside of the host cell

-classified into 4 structural classes (helical symmetry, isometric symmetry, enveloped, bacteriophage)
