Solution

The correct option is B Electropermeabilization
Electroporation is also called as electropermeabilization. It is a technique in which an electrical field is applied to cells so as to increase the permeability of the cell membrane, allowing DNA to enter into the cell. In molecular biology, the process of electroporation is often used to transform bacteria, yeast or plant protoplasts. Electroporation is also highly efficient for the introduction of foreign genes into tissue culture cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
