Solution

The correct option is D Single stranded RNA
The rabies virus causes rabies in humans and animals. Rabies transmission can occur through the saliva of animals and less commonly through contact with human saliva. These viruses are enveloped and have a single stranded RNA genome with negative-sense. Thus, option B is correct and other options are wrong.
