Solution

The correct option is B Transformation of plant cells
  • A gene gun or a biolistic particle delivery system, originally designed for plant transformation, is a device for injecting cells with genetic information.
  • This device is able to transform almost any type of cell and is not limited to the genetic material of the nucleus: it can also transform organelles, including plastids.

So, the correct answer is option B.
