Solution

The correct option is A In vivo, gene therapy

In-vivo therapy involves the transfer of genetic material directly into the targeted tissue of the patients. The targeted tissue remains in the patient body and starts producing the required proteins.

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells, it usually works by keeping a check on the dividng property of cancer cells.

In ex-vivo therapy the targeted cells are removed from the patient’s body and are administered to the cells in-vitro before they are inserted back into the patient body.

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that boosts the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer, it normally uses the substance made by the body to improve the immune system effective enough in locating cancer cells and destroying them.
