Which best describes the lytic and lysogenic cycles?

Unlike the lytic cycle, the lysogenic cycle involves production of virus particles.

Unlike the lysogenic cycle, the lytic cycle involves destruction of the host.

Symptoms of infection appear in the lysogenic cycle but not in the lytic cycle.

For virulent viruses, the lysogenic cycle is the main way of replicating.

The answer is: Unlike the lysogenic cycle, the lytic cycle involves destruction of the host.

In the lysogenic cycle a virus does not kill the host. Regarding the other statements, in the lytic cycle symptoms of infection appear, and, also, it is the main way of replicating virulent viruses.
