Solution

The correct option is A Gene cloning
Genetic engineering includes techniques for the creation of a recombinant DNA which carries DNA from different sources. It also includes production of modified organisms that carry the same rDNA molecule. The rDNA molecule becomes a part of the host cell and replicates to produce multiple copies. This process to generate identical multiple copies is known as cloning.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
