Viruses are not alive. Although they sort of “hack” a host’s cells and reproduce, they do not breathe or move on their own. A virus will sit on a counter forever if it’s untouched. Viruses are spread by physical contact, not because they can move around on their own.

Cells are very much alive, while viruses are not.

Answer:
The correct answer is d) genomic imprinting.
Explanation:
Genomic imprinting is a biological process by which specific modifications in the germ line that produce differences in the expression of the genetic material that is biochemically marked indicating its parental origin. The Prader-Willi syndrome is one of the best known and most studied examples in relation to pathologies produced by genomic imprinting. Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic disease that is fundamentally neurological. Its appearance is due to a deletion of a fragment of chromosome 15 derived from the father.
