Release by budding is significant because it

  • A.removes the viral glycoproteins
  • B.need not destroy the infected cell
  • C.always kills the cell at once
  • D.occurs only in plant viruses

Answer: B

Budding combines the last step of assembly with departure from the cell and does not depend on the cell disintegrating, so enveloped viruses released this way are frequently non-cytolytic. A cell can therefore shed virus for a long period while still alive.
