Solution

The correct option is C Multiply
'Reproduce' means (of an organism) produce offspring by a sexual or asexual process.
"bacteria normally divide and reproduce themselves every twenty minutes"
In this context, "A virus is a lifeless particle that cannot reproduce outside a living cell", 'reproduce' means to multiply or proliferate or propagate. Hence, option D is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
