Is a Virus considered living or non-living? Justify your answer and Give one example of a virus

In your own words, explain how the viral proteins that bind host Rb (retinoblastoma) proteins help viruses reproduce.

According to the book Crawford, Dorothy H. Viruses:  A Very Short Introduction. New York, what is the synopsis of the book/what is the book about?

Use the information to answer the following question. Two students were debating whether viruses are living or nonliving. Student A: Viruses are living because they contain DNA or RNA and reproduce. Student B: Viruses are nonliving because they do not grow and do not use energy. Which student's claim is correct and why? O A. Student B, because viruses do not use or make energy. Even though they contain DNA and RNA, many other non-living things also contain DNA and RNA. O B. Student B, because viruses do not grow and do not use energy. Although they have DNA and RNA, they are only able to reproduce with a host cell. O C. Student A, because viruses are able to reproduce and continue to spread their disease to other hosts. As the virus becomes more dangerous, it grows and becomes larger. O D. Student A, because all living things must have DNA or RNA. They must use energy in order to reproduce and make more viruses.
