A). Viruses replicate at such an accelerated rate that antibiotics are unable to control colonization and growth.
B). Viruses create highly resistant endospores that preserve their genetic material against antibiotics.

D). Viruses exchange genetic material with nearby bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics.

Answer:

I think the answer is D.

Explanation:

if viruses exchange genetic material with nearby bacteria that are resistant then the antibiotics wont be able to kill the virus.

Answer:

I think its C. Viruses are not cellular and do not contain the lipid and protein markers targeted by antibiotics.

Explanation:

Viruses are not considering living and are different to bacteria; they have a different structure and a different way of surviving. Viruses don’t have cell walls that can be attacked by antibiotics. Antibiotics basically attack the cell wall of bacteria or attach to markers on cell wall of bacteria to trigger some deadly reactions in bacteria which causes them to die. Viruses don't have cell wall instead they are surrounded by a protective protein coat.

Unlike bacteria, which attack your body’s cells from the outside, viruses actually move into, live in and make copies of themselves in your body’s cells.  Viruses can't reproduce on their own, like bacteria do, instead they attach themselves to healthy cells and reprogram those cells to make new viruses.

Therefore, I strongly believe it's C.
