Answer:
The correct answer option is D) A virus cannot reproduce itself without a host cell.
Step-by-step explanation:
Viruses cannot keep themselves in a stable state as they are not made out of cells they don’t grow so they cannot make their own energy.
Though these viruses do replicate and adapt to their environment but they are are more like androids than real living organisms.
They lack the ability of reproduction without the help of a host cell and do not use the typical cell division approach to replicate.
