The matrix protein of an enveloped virus lies
Answer: A
Correct answer: between the nucleocapsid and the envelope
The matrix protein forms a layer lining the inner face of the envelope and contacting the nucleocapsid, so it links the two. That position is what makes it structurally important: it gives the envelope its rigidity and it directs assembly, gathering the nucleocapsid beneath the patch of membrane carrying the viral glycoproteins so that budding produces a complete particle.
