Which of the following is not related to the enveloped virus?
Correct answer: B. Their envelope is not sensitive to sunlight
- A. They survive for a short time
- B. Their envelope is not sensitive to sunlight
- C. They are tolerant to antibodies
- D. Envelope is derived from host
Explanation
Enveloped virus is a virus that has an outer wrapping or envelope. This envelope comes from the infected cell, or host, in a process called "budding off." During the budding process, newly formed virus particles become "enveloped" or wrapped in an outer coat that is made from a small piece of the cell's plasma membrane.

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.
