Solution
The correct option is A Lytic
When bacteriophage infects a bacterium, It entirely depends upon the host for its multiplication. It utilizes the host machinery for replication and produces a large number of progeny (phage parties). The bacterial cell undergoes lysis and dies to liberate a large number of these phage particles which are ready to start another cycle by infecting a new bacterial cell. This cycle is called as a lytic cycle.
