Answer:Option D

Explanation:

The RNAi serves as a tool for studying the various functions of the gene because it works on the principle of sequence specific gene suppression in a variety of organism and cultured cells.

It is employed to the target the desired mRNA degradation after the introduction of the sequence specific dsDNA.

The RNA interference hence, will recognize the viral mRNA and prevents the viral gene expression.
