Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Prophage
A prophage is a bacteriophage genome which is inserted and integrated into the circular bacterial DNA chromosome. This is a latent form of a phage in which the viral genes are present in the bacterium without causing disruption of the bacterial cell. Prophage occurs during lysogenic cycle. So the correct answer is 'prophage'.
