A latent viral infection is an infection in which: a. viral replication is slow viruses remain within host cells without ever causing a disease b. viral replication has stopped but may resume years or decades later upon reactivation c. a viral infection causes a disease progression gradually over a long period

b. viral replication has stopped but may resume years or decades later upon reactivation

Explanation:Virus latency is the ability of a pathogenic virus to lie dormant within a cell to resume months, years or decades later upon reactivation

When virus enters our body, it becomes latent, this is because the the virus needs to pass the different stages of viral growth before manifestation or appearance. Thus we can say that Latent infection is the cell cycle infection that starts from time of the onset of the infection to the appearance of virus extracellularly. A very good example of a latent virus is the Corona Virus.
