I also think its "a" but am nt 100% sure.The explanation I can think of right now is that EBV is responsible for many malignancies like Burkitts , nasopharyngeal etc.This might be due to the latent infection that sets up these mailganant potentials due to expression of certain genes in B lymphocytes.
I woud like to like to know if my approach is right?So Versatile58 , plz post the correct answer and explanation.

burkitt lymphoma=c-myc=cellular oncogen...1st progeny inserted near to host cell
cellular oncogen.
2nd progeny of the virus will pickup part of the host cellular oncogen make i just close
to viral high replicative enhancer=recommbinant virus(some of viral genes+some of
host genes)then malignant changes like cell diffrentiation proteins will expressed by viral
and cellular genes
