Use the following information to answer the following questions.
In 1971, David Baltimore described a scheme for classifying viruses based on how the virus produces mRNA.
The table below shows the results of testing five viruses for nuclease specificity, the ability of the virus to act as an mRNA, and presence (+) or absence (-) of its own viral polymerase.
 Virus Nuclease  Sensitivity  Genome as mRNA PolymeraseA Dnase +B Rnase +C Dnase +D Rnase +E Rnase +\begin{array}{ll}\text { Virus Nuclease } & \text { Sensitivity } &\text { Genome as mRNA}&\text { Polymerase} \\A & \text { Dnase }&-&+ \\\mathrm{B} & \text { Rnase }&+&- \\\mathrm{C} & \text { Dnase } &-&+\\\mathrm{D} & \text { Rnase }&-&+ \\\mathrm{E} & \text { Rnase }&+&-\end{array}
-Based on the above table, which virus meets the requirements for a bacteriophage?
