The answer is the first one (or A): Endocytosis.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Endocytosis: This is the correct term. Endocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs a virus (or other particles) by enclosing it in a vacuole or vesicle. This allows the cell to internalize the virus for further processing or destruction.

  2. Budding: This term is incorrect in this context. Budding is a process used by some viruses to exit a host cell. The virus acquires a portion of the host cell's membrane as it leaves, forming a new viral envelope.

  3. Exocytosis: This term is also incorrect. Exocytosis is the process by which cells expel materials in vesicles to the outside of the cell. It is essentially the opposite of endocytosis.

  4. Lysis: This term is incorrect as well. Lysis refers to the breaking down or destruction of a cell, often by the rupture of the cell membrane, which can be caused by viral infection but is not the process of engulfing a virus.

Summary: The term used to describe the process in which a virus is engulfed by a cell in a vacuole or vesicle is Endocytosis.
