- D. Human immunodeficiency virus
Explanation
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus, and it contains integrase, protease, and reverse transcriptase enzymes. Integrase helps integrate viral DNA into the host cell genome, protease cleaves viral polyproteins to produce functional viral proteins, and reverse transcriptase synthesizes DNA from the viral RNA genome.

About Biodiversity and Variety of Life
Biological classification uses taxonomic ranks, binomial nomenclature and shared characteristics to organize life into kingdoms. The major groups include prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants and animals, with comparisons based on cell type, cell wall, nutrition, body organization, reproduction and evolutionary relationships; prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
