Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The question asks for an example of RNA-containing viruses.
- Smallpox virus is a DNA virus, so option (A) is incorrect.
- Adenovirus is also a DNA virus, so option (B) is incorrect.
- TMV (Tobacco mosaic virus) and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) are both RNA viruses, making option (C) correct.
- Adeno virus and TMV are not both RNA viruses, so option (D) is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) TMV and HIV.
