The correct option is B block peptidoglycan synthesis
The phi x174 bacteriophage is a single stranded DNA virus that infects E.coli. It is the first DNA based genome to be sequenced. It release an enzyme E during host infection to block host's peptidoglycan synthesis.
So the correct answer is 'block peptidoglycan synthesis'.
