Answer
Since this question asks you to detect the RNA genome of hepatitis A, you need a technique which can access that genome. RT-PCR converts RNA into DNA, which is easier to detect. Alternatively, and perhaps more usefully, hybridization of probes for hepatitis A genetic sequences might also detect the genome of this virus.
