I get none of the above, since it should be called a bacillus.

Explanation:

According to this website, a rod-shaped bacteria (phage) is called a bacillus. It is known for many infections in the human body as well.

So, none of the options correspond to the answer, unless the question is asking for something else...

However, a virus that is rod-shaped has a helical structure and symmetry, see Dave's link for the explanation.
