The typical step in the lytic cycle of viral replication from the options provided is:

Assembly of new virus particles on the cell membrane of the host cell.

In the lytic cycle, viruses invade a host cell, replicate their genetic material, and then assemble new virions, which eventually lead to the lysis (bursting) of the host cell to release the newly formed viruses. The other options listed (host cell undergoing mitosis and integration of viral genetic material into the host genome) are more relevant to other types of viral replication cycles, such as the lysogenic cycle.
