Which of the following statements about viruses is true?

Viruses require a host cell to replicate. Viruses are not living organisms on their own. They are tiny infectious agents that can only replicate and multiply inside the cells of other living organisms. In order to reproduce, viruses depend on a host cell. They infect the host cell and take control of its machinery, directing it to produce more viruses. This process of using the host cell's machinery for replication is known as the viral life cycle. Once the new viruses are produced, they can go on to infect other cells and continue the cycle of reproduction. Therefore, it is true that viruses need a host cell to replicate.
