Answer:

RNA viruses mutate faster than other DNA viruses because the enzyme RNA dependent RNA polymerase that synthesizes RNA does not have the activity of proof reading while DNA polymerase has this activity. Because of this absence of proof reading, wrong bases are inserted without correction and hence mutation is faster
