Answer:
Attachment stage
Explanation:
Viruses are organisms that are incapable of replicating on their own, instead they infect a living host in order to make use of its transcriptional, replication and gene expression abilities to multiply. This process of infection characterizes the reproductive life cycle of the viral cell.
Normally, viruses are specific when infecting their hosts but they generally commence the infection cycle with ATTACHMENT. In this stage, the viral cell with the aid of its proteinous capsid binds to specific receptor site on the cell membrane of its host cell before making entry by incorporating its genetic material.

There are choices for this question namely:
<span>a. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
b. T-lymphocyte virus type I
c. Epstein-Barr virus
d. Parvovirus
e. Poxvirus

The correct answers are HIV, T-lymphocyte virus type I, and Epstein-Barr virus. HIV or human immunodefiency virus will predispose the patient in developing Kaposi sarcoma in later stages of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. T-lymphocyte virus type I is believed to be the etiological agent for developing T-cell leukemia or lymphoma. Epstein-Barr virus is associated with both nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Burkitt lymphoma.
<em>Parvovirus B19 causes a viral exanthem called erythema infectiosum which has no propensity to malignancy. Poxvirus is the etiologic agent for molluscum contagiosum, also with no propensity in developing malignancy. </em>
