The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Genetic Material**: - Genetic material in organisms can be either DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). 2. **Identifying RNA Viruses**: - The question specifically asks for examples of viruses that have RNA as their genetic material. 3. **Analyzing the Given Options**: - Among the options, we need to identify which virus is known to have RNA as its genetic material. 4. **Example of RNA Virus**: - One of the examples provided is the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV). - TMV is known to cause mosaic disease in tobacco plants and is composed of RNA encapsulated in a protein coat. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since TMV is an RNA virus, it is the correct answer to the question. The other viruses mentioned are examples of DNA viruses. ### Final Answer: - RNA is the genetic material in the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV). ---
