The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is false among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A: "TNB has double-stranded RNA molecule."** - TNB refers to Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), which is known to be a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus, not a double-stranded RNA virus. Therefore, this statement is false. 2. **Analyze Statement B: "Most plant viruses are RNA viruses."** - This statement is true. The majority of plant viruses are indeed RNA viruses, including TMV. 3. **Analyze Statement C: "The Bacteriophage has double-stranded DNA molecule."** - This statement is also true. Bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacteria, typically contain double-stranded DNA. 4. **Analyze Statement D: "Most animal viruses are DNA viruses."** - This statement is false. While there are many DNA viruses that infect animals, the majority of animal viruses are RNA viruses. Therefore, this statement is also false. ### Conclusion: The false statements are A ("TNB has double-stranded RNA molecule") and D ("Most animal viruses are DNA viruses"). However, since the question asks for one false statement, the most directly incorrect statement is A. ### Final Answer: **The false statement is: "TNB has double-stranded RNA molecule."** ---
