    core

Solution

Structurally viruses are very diverse varying widely in size, shape and chemical composition. The nucleic acid of virus is always located within the virion particle and surrounded by a protien shell called capsid. The protein coat is compound of a number of individual protein molecules called structural subunits. The complete complex of nucleic acid and proteins, packaged in the virion is called the virus nucleocapsid.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
