The answer is: temperate

A bacteriophage that incorporates itself into the host genome as a lysogenic prophage is called a temperate phage.

Explanation:

• Temperate phages can undergo a lysogenic cycle, where they integrate their genetic material into the host cell's genome and remain dormant for a period of time.
• This integrated viral DNA is known as a prophage.
• In contrast, virulent phages only undergo the lytic cycle, where they replicate within the host cell and eventually cause the cell to lyse, releasing new phage particles.
