Answer:
The correct answer is: viral replication would stop.
Explanation:
Drugs that block the action of RNA polymerase in viruses are called antivirals and are used to cure viral infections like Hepatitis and Herpes.
<u>Antivirals do not destroy the virus but rather mess with its development by inhibiting its replication</u>.
Viruses do not have the capacity to replicate or synthesize proteins by themselves, so they need a host that can "lend them" the structures needed to perform those processes. If the drug blocks the RNA polymerase, the virus won't be able to replicate itself.
Organelles exist within cells, which exist within tissues. Communities exist within ecosystems, which exist in the biosphere.
