Use the following figure and information to answer the question.

Use the following figure and information to answer the question. Cells were infected with approximately 1,000 copies of either virus A or virus B at the 0 time point. At five-minute intervals, a sample of the virus and cell mixture was removed. All intact cells were removed from the sample, and the number of viruses per milliliter of culture was determined. Based on the data provided, the lytic cycle of virus B is closest to ________. A) 15 minutes B) 30 minutes C) 45 minutes D) 60 minutes
