Solution

The correct option is D Electro-elution

Elution is the process of extracting one material from another by washing it with a solvent. Electro-elution is a type of elution method which is used to extract a nucleic acid or a protein sample from a gel after electrophoresis, by applying a negative current in the plane of the gel. This negative current draws the macromolecule to the surface for extraction and elutes it out.
