Solution

The correct option is B RNA
A retrovirus is a virus that uses RNA as its genetic material. When a retrovirus infects a cell, it makes a DNA copy of its genome that is inserted into the DNA of the host cell by a process called reverse transcription or teminism.
So, the correct answer is 'RNA'
