Solution

The correct option is A (a) (b) (c) (d)
(iii) (ii) (iv) (i)
cry gene codes for insecticidal protein.
Taq polymerase is obtained from Thermus aquaticus.
The Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens has now been modified into a cloning vector to deliver genes into a variety of plants. E. coli is used as host cell for human insulin production.
