The correct response is:
**It copies the information for reproduction from RNA into DNA.**
This describes the unique role of reverse transcription in the lifecycle of the HIV virus, which is a retrovirus. Unlike many other viruses (such as those causing the common cold or influenza) that typically use DNA or RNA directly for replication, HIV reverses the process by converting its RNA into DNA after entering a host cell.
