Solution
The correct option is D Lytic The lytic cycle is one of the cycles of viral reproduction. The lytic cycle results in the destruction of the infected cell and its membrane. During lytic cycle virus attaches to the bacteria and injects its DNA into the host cell. By using the host machinery the phage DNA replicates inside the cell and synthesize new phage DNA and proteins. The replicated material assembles into fully formed viral phages and comes out of the host cell by host cell destruction. So, the correct answer is 'Lytic'.
