Solution

The correct option is C Large size
"Ori" site is where the replication starts. Without an "Ori" site, there is no replication.
Antibiotic resistance genes are necessary as selective markers.
Multiple cloning site or MCS is a site containing many restriction sites that enable cutting with restriction enzymes. Then, the DNA segment is inserted in the MCS.
Large size is not a characteristic of a vector.
