Evolution is often described as a slow, unobservable process. However, viruses continue to evolve rapidly. What best explains how the influenza virus evolves rapidly? A) Influenza viruses recombine with more pathogenic bacteria to produce new diseases. B) Influenza viruses target only cells that are resistant to detection by the immune system. C) Influenza viruses with mutations to evade host immune systems replicate more frequently than those that without the mutations. D) Influenza viruses combine with the human genome to silence genes of the immune system that can target influenza-infected cells.
