The most important idea is that the genetic material of any organism must be able to accurately replicate itself at least every generation (or for multicellular organisms at each cell division).
Base pairing (A-T or U and C-G)allows DNA and RNA (eg in polio virus, see Wikipedia page on RNA dependent RNA polymerase) to create a copy of themselves, when the appropriate enzymes are present. Proteins have no way of making a copy of themselves.
Stability is probably the main reason DNA is the most common genetic material. DNA has no enzymatic activity and was probably selected for to maintain the integrity of the genetic material (rather than having to perform a function for the cell/virus, during which it may be destroyed). The double helix structure also protects its integrity, and proofreading enzymes have also evolved which correct most of the mistakes made at DNA replication. RNA viruses don't have this mechanism- which could be said to be an advantage (as they can rapidly change and therefore avoid their hosts' immune systems), however in non-parasitic organisms most mutations in a gene would lead to a loss of an essential function and the extinction of that genome.
I don't think either of these reasons are relevant, but I think the main reasons retroviruses convert their RNA to DNA are so they can use the host cell's replication machinery (this was they do not need to encode as many genes), and secondly they need avoid the antiviral mechanisms of the cell, which would destroy any double stranded RNA molecules found (even if the virus was single stranded, dsRNA would have to be produced at replication).
Answer: Given your four choices, the best/most correct one would be (c) the sunlight that evaporated water that eventually falls as rain and fills the reservoir. It is the potential energy stored in the reservoir water which is "released" as it is converted to kinetic energy (the movement of water which spins the hydroelectric generator turbine, etc.), but the absolute source of that original potential energy comes from the Sun's action to evaporate lake or ocean water which is returned to Earth as rain ... and it is this rainwater which ultimately fills the reservoir behind the hydroelectric power plant.

Plant based diet includes a moderate amount of fruits and vegetables and minimal animal products.Some of its benefits are:lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure,weight loss and others. Animal diet, on the other hand, is diet based on animal products. This means that it has a large amount of proteins. Proteins are especially important for athletes.
