C.

Explanation:

Viruses cannot reproduce on their own, and need a host organism to infect before they can hack its "DNA" and then reproduce.

A basic, simple explanation for that is because the virus genome does not contain all of the "RNA" and "DNA" parts needed for replication, such as transfer "RNAs" and ribosomal "RNAs".

So, C. would be the correct answer.
