Verified by Toppr

The cell theory states that all living beings are made of cells. There is a debate as to whether or not viruses should be considered to be alive. The debate results from the fact that viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They must invade a host cell and utilize the host’s genetic material in order to reproduce. Viruses are not true cells. They lack the most important part of the cell, the protoplasm. Hence, the cell theory is not applicable to viruses. Hence, the answer is C.
