Solution

The correct option is B Replicative DNA
Bacteriophage ϕ×174 is a single-stranded DNA virus that infects Escherichia coli, and the first DNA-based genome to be sequenced. Its DNA is composed of 5386 nucleotides.
The Bacteriophage ϕ×174 belong to the family microviridae.
Hence the genetic material of ϕ×174 is SSDNA(Single-stranded DNA).
So, the correct option is 'A'.
