Either A or B

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Most viruses reproduce through a process called lytic infection. During lytic infection, a virus enters the host cell, makes a copy of itself, and causes the cell to burst, or lyse.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lytic Pathway A bacteriophage is a virus that invades a bacterium and reproduces inside of it. Bacteriophage Lambda is capable of replicating using both a lytic pathway as well as a lysogenic pathway.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lytic cycle involves the reproduction of viruses using a host cell to manufacture more viruses; the viruses then burst out of the cell. The lysogenic cycle involves the incorporation of the viral genome into the host cell genome, infecting it from within.
Detailed explanation-4: -They are lytic in nature and are among the smallest viruses, with diameters of about 30 nanometers.
