Bacteriophages are a type of virus that infects bacteria. Scientists have started to use these bacteriophages to move genetic information from one bacterium to another. Which characteristic of a virus is an advantage and why?

A
The ability to integrate its own DNA into the host’s DNA makes it possible to transfer the integrated DNA to another organism.
B
The ability to utilize the hosts’ protein synthesis machinery where copies of synthesized proteins remain stored.
C
The ability to only infect a limited range of hosts helps to transfer genetic material more efficiently.
D
The ability to assemble itself inside the host cell makes the transfer more efficient and independent.
