Retroviruses are RNA-based viruses that infect cells. During infection, they incorporate their genome into the host’s DNA. How are retroviruses able to incorporate DNA into a host cell?

A) Retroviruses translate their RNA into proteins, which bind to the DNA of the host to cause latent infection.
B) Retroviruses directly inject their RNA-based genome into the host’s DNA, resulting in high levels of mutations.
C) Retroviruses use their single stranded RNA to bind to the host’s single stranded DNA to prevent the host’s DNA from replicating.
D) Retroviruses can use their own reverse transcriptase to make a DNA copy from an RNA template before incorporating DNA into the host’s genome.
