The correct option is A transduction
The Hershey and Chase experiment proving DNA as the genetic material was based on the principle of transduction which is the process by which DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus.
Transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell that happens as a result of direct uptake and incorporation of genetic material from the surroundings through the cell membrane.
Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
Translation is the process of synthesizing a polypeptide chain(protein) by translating the information stored in the mRNA.
