The correct answer is **a Viruses depend on the host cells that they infect to reproduce/replicate.**
Viruses are not considered living organisms and do not have the cellular machinery necessary for replication or metabolism on their own. Instead, they hijack the cellular machinery of a host to reproduce and propagate.
