- B. They are obligate intracellular parasite.
- C. They can synthesize their nucleic acid
- D. They are resistant to most of antibiotic treatment
Explanation
Viruses do not independently synthesize their nucleic acids because they lack the complete metabolic and protein-synthesis machinery of cells; they replicate using a host cell. They are obligate intracellular parasites and are generally unaffected by antibacterial antibiotics. Students may choose a because viruses can be grown in laboratories, but they require living cells rather than artificial cell-free media.
