Viruses are a _ entity between living and non-living.
Correct answer: B. Transitional
- A. Balanced
- B. Transitional
- C. Threshold
- D. None of these
Explanation
Among the options, the most accurate term is "transitional," because viruses display features of both living and non-living entities: they are inert and crystalline outside the host but become active and reproduce inside it. The other terms ("balanced," "threshold," and "none of these") are less precise or incorrect in describing their unique status.
