Solution

The correct option is C (iv) only
Interferons are a group of proteins called cytokines produced by WBC, fibroblasts, or T-cells as part of an immune response to a viral infection or other immune triggers. Interferons are proteinaceous in nature but not glycolipid in nature, thus interferon which prevents viral multiplication are protein particles.
So, the correct option is 'Interferon which prevents viral multiplication are glycolipid particles.'.
