The typical step in the lytic cycle of viral replication is:

Assembly of new virus particles on the cell membrane of the host cell.

In the lytic cycle, a virus infects a host cell, replicates its genetic material, assembles new virus particles, and eventually causes the host cell to lyse (break open), releasing the new viruses to infect other cells. The other options provided are not characteristic of the lytic cycle.
