C
6
D
3
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lytic cycle, which is also commonly referred to as the “reproductive cycle” of the bacteriophage, is a six-stage cycle. The six stages are: attachment, penetration, transcription, biosynthesis, maturation, and lysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The viral life cycle can be divided into several major stages: attachment, entry, uncoating, replication, maturation, and release.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lytic cycle involves four steps: infecting a host (an action called exposure), injecting a cell with the virus’s genetic material, using the cell’s metabolic engines to create new viruses, and finally, weakening the cell walls until the host cell lyses, or bursts open from excessive internal pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -These stages include attachment, penetration, uncoating, biosynthesis, maturation, and release. Bacteriophages have a lytic or lysogenic cycle.
