Vedclass · Answer

(B) Viruses are considered to have a 'dubious' or 'borderline' status because they do not truly fit into the definition of living organisms. They lack a cellular structure,metabolic machinery,and the ability to reproduce independently. They behave like inert chemicals outside a host cell but exhibit characteristics of living organisms (such as replication) only when they infect a host cell. Therefore,they are not included in the five-kingdom classification system.
