Solution

The correct option is C Virus
The viruses which infect the bacteria are known as bacteriophages. These are the phages which follow the lytic or the lysogenic cycle for infection of the bacterial cells. The phages also help in transduction process in which the gene is transferred from one bacterium to the other bacterial cell.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
