Dear Shreya,

The correct option is Retrovirus.

Please find the explanation below:

Retroviruses are single stranded RNA viruses, which replicate inside the host cell by a process of reverse transcription. They have the ability to infect many animal cells including human cells. For example, HIV viruses. 
In biotechnology, they are used as natural vectors to deliver the desired gene in the host cell in spite of their disease causing ability. They are modified into a cloning vectors by removing the genes responsible for pathogenicity and inserting desired genes. Thus, they play important role in gene therapy to correct the abnormal gene in desired cell.
