Just got this question wrong on my test. Am I just retarded? Is this not correct? Viruses are not considered alive right? Why would this be false?

It's a bs trick question. The idea of prokaryotes is generally avoided today, splitting them instead into archaea, bacteria.

That's retarded. You're not changing anything semantic here, just focusing on a different level of categorization.
>splitting them
Are bacteria prokaryotes?
Are archaea prokaryotes?
Yes? Then the answer given is correct, isn't it?

Generally avoided by who? Every textbook I own, including recent ones, is happy classifying archaea as prokaryotes, and this is clearly the standard usage in scientific literature.
OP, whoever wrote that quiz does not deserve to live.

You are right, bacteria and archaea are both prokaryotes and everything elseis eukaryotes. No idea what they meant.

If viruses aren't self replicating, how did they manage to persist as long as they have? Same question with viroids.

Viruses don't exist
