The correct answer is A) Cyanophage.

Cyanophages are viruses that infect cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). They are unique because they contain both DNA and RNA in their virion particles. This is a rare characteristic among viruses and sets cyanophages apart from the other options listed. The other viruses mentioned, such as Herpes Virus, Leuko Virus, and Polio Virus, do not contain both DNA and RNA in their virion particles.
