Solution

The correct option is C Jellyfish
GFP stands for Green Fluorescent Protein. The gene that codes for GFP is isolated from jellyfish which have the ability to glow in the dark. GFP has been used in creating transgenic mice that glow under blue light. GFP has also been tagged to several important proteins to understand their physiological role.
