Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Viral diseases are intracellular

A virus is a microscopic particle that can infect the cells of a biological organism. They are similar to obligate intracellular parasites as they lack the means for self-reproduction outside a host cell, but unlike parasites, viruses are generally not considered to be true living organisms and it is difficult to track them inside the host.

So the correct option is 'Viral diseases are intracellular'.
