The correct answer is D. Without capsids, viruses could not replicate

Explanation:

A viral infection is caused as a virus enters the body and this replicates inside it by using the host's cells. This is possible through the capsid which is an external layer in the virus that provides protection to it and helps the virus replicate because the capsid is essential for the virus to attach and penetrate the host's cells to replicate. According to this, if a drug damages the capsids the virus could not replicate and this should or reduce the infection caused by the virus. Thus, a drug that damages capsids helps treat a viral infection because "without capsids, viruses could not replicate".

Lunar Tides: the moon's gravitational pull on the Earth is strongest at this time, because it is closest, causing especially high and low tides.

Solar Tides: the sun's gravitational pull on the Earth is strongest at this time, causing especially high and low tides (although it's not as powerful as lunar tides).

Spring Tides: named for when the tides "spring" forward during New and Full Moon's, because of how strong/weak the moon's gravitational pull is.

Neap Tides: the tides are especially mediocre at this time, because the sun and moon are at a right angle and pulling in opposite directions.

Spring and Neap Tides occur twice every moon cycle, which lasts 28 days, so every two weeks.
