Solution

The correct option is C Changes in body cell
Somatic gene therapy causes changes in the body cells. It involves the placement of a human gene into a living person's somatic cells, except the cells that produce the eggs and sperm. The aim of somatic cell therapy is to cure the patient not the patient’s progeny.
So, the correct answer is option C.
