**Question:**

Viruses can avoid the human immune system by

- Intracellular reproduction
- Remaining inactive in a host chromosome
- Allowing host cells to passively replicate the virus without lysis
- Taking a piece of host plasma membrane as a disguise
- All of the above

**Explanation:**

This question outlines several mechanisms that viruses may use to evade detection by the human immune system. These include reproducing within cells, integrating into the host's genetic material, avoiding destruction by host cells, and camouflaging themselves with host cell membranes. The option "All of the above" indicates that viruses can use multiple strategies simultaneously.
