cycle.
o
b. virus particles cannot be replicated by a host cell during a
lysogenic cycle.
o
c. viruses with a lysogenic cycle immediately cause a host cell to
burst.
o

The correct answer is D viruses that enter a lysogenic cycle do not immediately kill a host cell.

Explanation:

Lysogenic  cycle is carried out by lambda phage which integrate its DNA with the genome of bacteria resulting in the formation of prophage.

    The phage DNA replicate along with bacterial DNA and exist in this form for a period of time until the phage DNA recognizes any type of mutation such as exposure to ultraviolet ray which helps the lambda phage to enter the lytic cycle.
