Solution

The correct option is B modern biotechnology
Genetic engineering and bioprocess engineering are two core techniques that enabled the birth of modern biotechnology.

Genetic engineering deals with the manipulation of genes and genetic material. It involves cutting and pasting desired DNA fragments and introducing them into the specified hosts for the benefits of human beings.

Bioprocess engineering deals with the design and development of equipment and processes for the manufacturing of products such as pharmaceuticals and chemicals by using living cells or their components.

Molecular biology deals with the study of the chemical structures and processes of biological phenomena that involve the basic units of life.

Biochemistry is the branch of science that deals with exploring the chemical processes within and related to living organisms.

Microbiology refers to the study of all living organisms that are microscopic, too small to be visible to the naked eye. This includes bacteria, archaea, viruses, certain fungi, prions, protozoans and algae, collectively known as 'microbes'.
