Production of energy through cellular respiration

A typical step in the lytic cycle of viral replication is assembly of new virus particles.

In the lytic cycle, after the virus has injected its genetic material into the host cell, the viral components are replicated and then assembled into new virus particles, which eventually leads to the lysis (breaking open) of the host cell to release the new viruses. The other options you listed are not characteristic of the lytic cycle.
