Solution

The correct option is A Prophages
The temperate phages are the phages which follow the lysogenic cycle. The phage attacks the bacterial cell and the genetic material is introduced into the cell. The genetic material of the phage gets incorporated into the genetic material of the host. This is known as the prophage in which the genes of the phage are also transcribed and translated to form structural proteins.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
