The correct answer is "virion".
When viruses are not inside an infected host, they exist in the form of independent viral particles, called virions. In general, virions are comprised of the genetic material of the virus and a proteinic coat called capsid which protects the molecules of DNA or RNA. Sometimes, this capsid is also enclosed in a lipid envelope.
