The correct statement is that the nucleic acid contains the genetic information the virus needs to avoid detection.

What is the nucleic acid?

They are macromolecules or biological polymers present in the cells of living beings that are carriers of cellular information.

Viruses have a protein capsid and some have an envelope, these consist of a single nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) that encodes the viral genome.

Therefore, we can conclude that the correct statement is that the nucleic acid contains the genetic information the virus needs to avoid detection.
