Solution
The correct option is B Transduction
Conjugation is the process by which one bacterium transfers genetic material to another through direct contact. Transduction involves the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another with the use of a bacteriophage. A phage is a virus that infects bacteria. Transformation is genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake, incorporation and expression of exogenous DNA from its surroundings. So, the answer is B.
