Solution

The correct option is C Capsid
Virus is a nucleoprotein particle. It is made up of an outermost covering known as envelope, a protein coat, i.e, capsid and a core of nucleic acid. During it's reproduction, multiple copies of envelope capsid and nucleic acids are formed inside the host cells. Since ribosomes are absent in virus cells. Therefore they are not reproduced during reproduction of viruses.
So, the correct option is 'Capsid'.
