Reverse transcription ofretroviral mRNA is a baroque process with multiple primers andtemplate 'jumps'. Why is this complexity necessary?

 A. Copying RNA into DNA is inefficient
B. Because the viral mRNA is not translated when it enters thehost cell
C. Because the mRNA is not a complete copy of the genome, theLTRs must be regenerated
D. The primer for reverse transcription is a tRNA
E. DNA synthesis is very slow
