Virus replication results in the death of the cellGroup of answer choicesLytic replicationPersistent infectionBudding

Lytic replication results in the death of the cell. In this process, the virus takes over the host cell's machinery for its own replication. Once the replication is complete, the newly formed virus particles burst out of the host cell, causing its death.

Persistent infection and budding do not necessarily result in the immediate death of the cell. In a persistent infection, the virus continues to replicate over a long period of time without causing immediate harm to the host cell.

In budding, the virus leaves the cell by pushing out (or budding) from the cell membrane. This process does not immediately kill the host cell, but it may cause damage over time.
