Which of the following describes a process that involves viral replications and assembly within a host, followed by bursting the host cell wall?

a. Prophage
b. Lysogenic cycle
c. Replication
d. Lytic Cycle

d. Lytic Cycle

The lytic cycle is the process in which a virus infects a host cell, replicates its viral components, assembles new viral particles, and then causes the host cell to burst (lyse), releasing the new viruses to infect other cells.
