The correct response is:
It copies the information for reproduction from RNA into DNA.
HIV is a retrovirus, which means it reverse transcribes its RNA genome into DNA after entering a host cell, allowing it to integrate into the host's genome. This is different from many other viruses, such as those that cause the common cold or influenza, which typically have DNA or RNA genomes that do not undergo this reverse transcription process.
