Viruses can bud from:
Correct answer: D. All of these options are correct
- A. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- B. Golgi complex
- C. Nuclear envelop
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
Viruses can bud at every stage in the ER-Golgi-cell membrane pathway. As the nucleocapsids assembled or in the process of being built, induce the formation of a membrane curvature in the host cell membrane and wrap up in the forming bud which is eventually pinched off by membrane scission to release the enveloped particle.

About Viruses
Viruses are acellular infectious particles made of genetic material enclosed by a protein capsid, sometimes with a lipid envelope. Their replication depends on a host cell and may follow lytic or lysogenic cycles, so viral structure and reproduction differ fundamentally from those of cellular organisms such as bacteria.
