The right option is; The ability to reproduce  

A virus is a non-cellular submicroscopic infectious organism that consists of a core of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses are not considered as true living things because they do not have the ability to reproduce and they are not made of cells. Viruses can only reproduce within a living cell and they often causes disease in the host organism.
