    The correct answer will be option-A.

    Explanation:

    Viruses are the pathogenic particles which are composed of proteins called capsid enclosing the genetic material.

    The viruses are distinct from the living pathogens as they lack specific cell organelles to perform distinct features as well they lack the living fluid required by the cells called cytoplasm. They also lack replication machinery due to which they largely depend on the hosts.

    Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

    Answer: A) Viruses lack cytoplasm and organelles

    Explanation:

    Viruses are composed of DNA and RNA and the protein as the genetic material. Virus is the smallest pathogens and it is different from other pathogen as they cannot reproduced by itself.

    Virus lack cytoplasm and organelles that is why they are differ from all the pathogens.

    Viruses are composed of genetic material and the proteins and it does not contain lipids.

    Therefore, option (A) is correct.
