• D. I - HIV envelop, II- Viral enzymes, III- Capsid, IV- Surface protein, V- RNA

Answer 1

The correct option is A I - HIV envelop, II- RNA, III- Capsid, IV- Surface protein, V- Viral enzymes

Human immunodeficiency virus or HIV. HIV is a member of a group of viruses called retrovirus, which have an spherical outer surface called envelop. On the surface of the envelop contains spike like glycoprotein called surface proteins. Inside the envelop is a bullet shaped core called capsid. Capsid along with the HIV genetic material (RNA) also houses different enzymes that carry steps out in the HIV life cycle.
