A) The coat protein was unable to bind to the viral genome.
B) The maturation protein was unable to bind to the stem-loop.
C) The ribosome could no longer bind to the start codon for the replicase gene.
D) The replicase protein was unable to bind to the viral genome.
E) Translation of replicase gene increased in the absence of coat protein translation.
