Solution
The correct option is A Reproduces inside the host
A virus is an organism that can be considered both living and non-living. It can be considered as living when it is inside any host (bacterium) as the virus infects the host cell and replicates inside it making several copies of it. When it is outside the host cell, it is non- living as it can not carry out its life- processes of either reproducing or digestion etc.
