The process of transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another with the help of vector i.e., the virus or bacteriophage is called as transduction. Transduction does not require physical contact between the cells for donating the DNA and it is DNase resistant unlike transformation, that is susceptible to DNase. So, the correct answer is option A.
