Solution
The correct option is C Germ cell
Transgenic plants and animals are formed by introducing an exogenous gene called a trans gene so that the organism will exhibit a new property and transmit that property to its offspring. It is only possible when the gene of interest is introduced into the nucleus of germ cells as these are the embryonic cell with the potential of developing into a gamete thus passing on to next generation. Hence, the correct option is C.
