The correct option is the second one, Attachment, entry, replication, copies made, exit. The first step for viral replication is the identification and attachment to its host cell, later on it has to surpass its membrane to enter the host's cytoplasm. Once it enters it can hijack the cell's molecular machinery to produce its copies and continue its infective cycle.
