Solution

The correct option is D Eclipse phase
Eclipse period is the time between infection by a bacteriophage or other virus and the appearance of the mature virus within the cell. During eclipse period the virus is disassembled and the component parts are being synthesized and progeny virus is being assembled. So the correct answer is 'eclipse phase'.
