  A)
  The recent rise of drug resistance has significantly hampered the elimination of viruses.
  B)
  The cell coat of viruses is particularly resilient to the available synthetic antivirals.
  C)

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Viruses are difficult to treat because interference with their replication often requires interference with the body's cell replication processes. Although they do exist with antiviral treatments, drug resistance and side effects are phenomena more closely associated with antibacterials. Antivirals act upon DNA or RNA synthesis, not the cell wall.
