Why is the Lysogenic Cycle considered the "sneakiest" version of reproduction? *

10 points
Because a person may have the virus inside of them, reproducing with their own DNA, with no symptoms of infection; but infecting others without knowledge.
Because it can take place over long periods of time, not active, but replicating and waiting for the environment to become favorable to then attack.
Because it silently is replicating an "army" without the organism knowing, as it "hides" by merging (mixing) with the host DNA.
All of the above

Option (C) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The Lysogenic cycle is one where the virus reproduces. It takes place by producing more particles of the virus in a host cell. That particle becomes the part of the host rather than killing it.

It is considered as the "sneakiest" Version of reproduction because sneaky represents something that occurs in a secretive mode, so in case of the Lysogenic cycle, new viruses are made in a very secretive manner by taking over the host machinery.
