Solution

The correct option is B Protein cover of virus
Capsid consists of several oligomeric structural subunits made of a protein called protomers. The observable 3-dimensional morphological subunits, which may or may not correspond to individual proteins, are called capsomeres. The capsid encloses the genetic material of the virus.
