a "persistent infection" is best described as:
A) chronic infection in which viral genes are not expressed and viral proteins are NOT made
B) an infection in which the viral nucleic acid does NOT persist/stay in the host cell
C) A general term that describes all chronic/long-term infections
D) chronic infection in which viral proteins are constantly made
E) chronic infections that usually do NOT have a fatal outcome
