Solution

The correct option is A Incorporate $S^{35}$ into their nucleic acid
In accordance with the principle of transformation, if a bacteriophage having S35 infects a bacterium growing on normal medium, the bacteriophages produced after the death of bacterium will contain S35 in their nucleic acids.

So, the correct answer is 'Incorporate S35 into their nucleic acid'.
