Solution

The correct option is D Syn3.0
In May, 2010, Dr. Craig Venter’s group had successfully synthesized the genome of the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides using a DNA synthesizer and transplanted it into the existing cell of a Mycoplasma capricolum bacterium that had had its DNA removed. This "synthetic" bacterium, that they named Syn3.0, was capable of survival and reproduction.
