Answer:

C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The virus cannot live in the environment without the host cell. They need the host cell for their survival.The virus incorporates its genetic material in the genetic material of the host cell to live. They opt for lytic cycle or lysogenic cycle.

Due to environmental stressors such as the starvation or exposure to chemicals may cause the virus to switch from the lysogenic cycle to lytic cycle.
