A viral species is a group of viruses that:
A
Can’t be defined.
B
Have the same morphology and nucleic acid.
C
Infect the same cells and cause the same disease.
D
Have the same genetic information and ecological niche.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Viral species: A group of viruses sharing the same genetic information and ecological niche (host).

Detailed explanation-2: -“Virus species” was first defined as “…a polythetic class of viruses that constitutes a replicating lineage and occupies a particular ecological niche” by van Regenmortel. Currently, “[a] species is the lowest taxonomic level in the hierarchy approved by the ICTV.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a virus particle is independent from its host, it consists of a viral genome, or genetic material, contained within a protein shell called a capsid. In some viruses, the protein shell is enclosed in a membrane called an envelope.

Detailed explanation-4: -A retrovirus is a virus that uses RNA as its genomic material.
