Solution

The correct option is C Gene is isolated and inserted in plasmid of other organism
The techniques of genetic engineering used to create exact copies of an organism is called gene cloning or DNA cloning. It is done by splitting DNA into fragments using restriction enzymes. These fragments are then inserted into cloning vectors (bacterial plasmids or bacteriophages), and grown in a selective media to obtain vectors with the recombinant DNA.
