Assembly of the T4 phage involves both self-assembly and the use of scaffolds. While some components of the phage can spontaneously assemble, others require the presence of scaffolds to properly assemble into the final structure. Therefore, choice C, which states that T4 phage assembly may involve some self-assembly and may involve the use of scaffolds, is the best choice.
