- Bthey cannot replicate.
- Cthere is no hereditary information.
- ✓$RNA$ can act to transfer heredity.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$RNA$ can act to transfer heredity.
d
$RNA$ and $DNA$ both are genetic material and carry genetic information from one generation to other. A virus is a small parasite that cannot reproduce by itself. Most viruses have either $RNA$ or $DNA$ as their genetic material. Once a virus infects a susceptible cell, it can direct the cell machinery to produce more viruses.
