Solution

The correct option is D Cosmid
Cosmids are cloning vectors that were developed to enable large fragments of DNA to be cloned and maintained.
Cosmid vectors allow the cloning of fragments up to 45 kilobases (kb) and are commonly used in genomic library construction.
Cosmid vectors are plasmids with a small region of cos sequence of bacteriophage.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
