Solution

The correct option is C Transposons/Jumping genes
Transposable elements (TEs) are segments of DNA that can move around to different positions in the genome of a single cell. Transposon mutagenesis, or transposition mutagenesis, is a biological process that allows genes to be transferred to a host organism's chromosome, interrupting or modifying the function of an extant gene on the chromosome and causing mutation.
So, the correct answer is 'Transposons/Jumping genes'
