Answer:

Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own way they can do nothing until they entered a living cell. Without cells viruses will not be able to multiply. Therefore viruses ante not living things.
