Its confusing. Baltimore classification depends up on based on genome or viral replication. While International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses classify the virus on the basis of their genome (like to ancestor).

Option B is correct as the virus grouped on the basis of their nucleic acid present like if it is having ssRNA or ssDNA or dsDNA, linear DNA or circular DNA.

I think option A is correct because viruses are largely classified on basis of a host like:

Plant viruses.
Animal viruses.

I think Option B is correct. Viruses are classified according to their nucleic acid make up and structure of their capsids.

B is the correct answer.

How the host would classify viruses?

Agree @Manish Jain.

Option A doesn't make sense.

Aiman said:   6 years ago
It should be option B. How comes A?
