Solution

The correct option is B Herpes virusssDNA
Herpes virus have double stranded (ds) DNA as the genetic material.

In general,
  • Viruses that infect plants have mostly single stranded RNA
  • Viruses that infect animals have either single or double stranded RNA or double stranded DNA.
  • Bacterial viruses or bacteriophages (viruses that infect the bacteria) are usually double stranded DNA viruses

Herpes virus infects Humans (Animals) so it can not have ssDNA.
