a occurs before replication
b involves enzymatic destruction of the capsid
c does not occur in bacteriophage multiplication
d all of the choices are correct.
e occurs during penetration in the multiplication cycle

Explanation:

• Viral nucleic - acid must be uncoated before replication can occur.
• Uncoating often involves the enzymatic destruction of the viral capsid.
• Bacteriophages inject their nucleic acid directly and don't require uncoating in the same way as other viruses.
• Uncoating occurs after penetration in the viral multiplication cycle.

Answer:
