C.) viruses need a living host to reproduce... this is cause by viruses being Dioxyriboneuclicacid(DNA) surrounded by a protien shell so viruses are not alive per say.... but they get into cells and use living cells to reproduce

Answer:

b. can be destroyed by antibiotics.

Explanation:

Antibiotics can act in two different ways:

As a bactericide, completely destroying bacteria, or as a bacteriostatic, inhibiting their replication.

Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses because they do not have their own metabolism. If the antibiotic is given to a patient with a viral infection, it can cause side effects or even antibiotic resistance problems.
