What are viruses classified as?

Microscopic plant parasites
Parasitic submicroscopic particles
Small bacteria with cell structures
Yeast infections

The correct answer is: Microscopic plant parasites

Viruses are not classified as microscopic plant parasites (A) because they do not contain the necessary structures and functions to be considered a plant. They also do not behave in the same way as parasitic submicroscopic particles (B) because they require a host cell to reproduce and are not capable of independent life. Viruses are also not classified as small bacteria with cell structures (C) because they lack the essential components and biochemical processes of a bacterial cell. Finally, they are not classified as yeast infections (D) because they belong to a different class of microorganisms and have different characteristics and behaviors. Therefore, the correct answer is to classify viruses as a distinct group of parasitic submicroscopic particles.
