Solution
The correct option is A Wound tumour virus and Reovirus
Wound tumour virus has a double-stranded RNA genome. This genome is approximately 25,000 base pairs long and organised into twelve segments. The genomes of Reovirus contain 10–12 segments of double strand RNA which are grouped into three categories corresponding to their size. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a positive sense single-stranded RNA virus. Cauliflower mosaic virus contains a circular double-stranded DNA molecule. Dahlia mosaic virus contains double-stranded DNA. Poliovirus contains single-stranded positive-sense RNA strand. So, the correct answer is 'Wound tumour virus and Reovirus'.
