Answer 1

A virus mutates, and therefore it has the trait "It evolves." While viruses exhibit some characteristics of living things, such as the ability to evolve and adapt, they are not made of cells, do not grow and develop in the traditional sense, and do not use energy in a way that living organisms do. Therefore, the correct response is:

It evolves.
