Consider the following:

Bacteria and Fungi can be cultured in an artificial/synthetic medium. Whereas viruses require a living host cell for replication. Infected host cells (eukaryotic or prokaryotic) can be cultured and grown, and then the growth medium can be harvested as a source of the virus. Hence, 1 and 2 are correct and 3 is not correct. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
