The answer is C.

A virus is made up of or consists of a nucleic acid in varying quantity which may either be RNA or DNA.

The nucleic acid is surrounded by a protein shell called a capsid. The word capsid comes from the Latin word  capsa which means box.The capsid and the nucleic acid within it are together referred to as nucleoprotein.The  capsid is made up of small sub units called capsomeres.

In many viruses, the nucleoprotein makes up the whole virus. More complex viruses have one or more further enclosing structures also made mostly of protein. These structures are referred to as envelopes and each envelop is specific to a particular virus.

I believe that the most contaminated are is the kitchen sink. Researchers say that the sink can contain up to 100,000 times more bacteria than the toilet seat. This is because the sink is where everything is slopped in.The sink should be washed with hot water and disinfected regularly to kill the harmful bacteria.
