Solution
The correct option is B Salmonella typhimurium
The construction of first recombinant DNA emerged from the linking of the gene encoding antibiotic resistance gene with a native plasmid of Salmonella typhimurium.
It was accomplished by Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer in 1972. They isolated the antibiotic resistance gene by cutting out a piece of DNA. This cutting of DNA at specific locations is carried out by molecular scissors also known as restriction enzymes.
