Which of the following best explains how viruses cause disease? A. The virus particles ingest cells in order to disrupt their processes. Ingesting cells allows viruses to
continue to replicate.

B. The virus particles digest parts of the host cell mechanism to create more viruses. The cell is left
without means to replicate.

C. The virus particles infect host cells and use the host cell's machinery to create more viruses. This
disrupts the host cell's processes.

D. The virus particles invade
host cells and use the host cell's machinery to create many more host
cells. This causes overproduction of cells.
