The correct response is:
**It evolves.**
Viruses can mutate and change over time, which is a characteristic of evolution. The other traits listed (growing and developing, using energy, and being made of cells) do not generally apply to viruses. Viruses do not grow and develop in the way living organisms do, they do not use energy independently, and they are not made of cells; instead, they are composed of protein coats and genetic material.
