    The correct answer will be option-A.

    Explanation:

    Viruses are the pathogenic particles which are composed of proteins called capsid enclosing the genetic material.

    The viruses are distinct from the living pathogens as they lack specific cell organelles to perform distinct features as well they lack the living fluid required by the cells called cytoplasm. They also lack replication machinery due to which they largely depend on the hosts.

    Thus, option-A is the correct answer.
