Final answer:
Cell division is not a cytopathic effect; it is a normal cellular process and not an alteration caused by viral infection.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to cytopathic effects, which are changes in host cells due to viral infection. Among the listed options, cell division is NOT a cytopathic effect. Cytopathic effects may include changes in cell shape from flat to round, shrinkage of the nucleus, vacuoles in the cytoplasm, cell fusion resulting in multinucleated syncytia, formation of inclusion bodies in the nucleus or cytoplasm, and cell lysis. Cell division, however, is a normal process of cellular replication and not considered a pathogenic alteration caused by viral infection.
