Correct answer: B. Surrounding genome
- A. Surrounded by genome
- B. Surrounding genome
- C. Surrounding the envelope
- D. Both B and C

The capsid is the protein shell that encloses and protects the viral genome. Adenovirus is non-enveloped, so its capsid surrounds the genome and there is no envelope for it to surround. Students may choose d by confusing the capsid with the envelope found in enveloped viruses.
