Solution

The correct option is B Virus
Viruses are non-cellular microorganisms which contain genetic material enclosed in a protein coat. They are considered both as living and nonliving organisms. They are inactive outside the host organism. But after infecting the host organism, they are active and utilize the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves and increase their numbers.
