Solution

The correct option is B Gene cloning
Gene cloning is the process of copying fragments of DNA which can then be used for many different purposes, such as creating GM crops, or finding a cure for disease. There are two types of gene cloning: in vivo, which involves the use of restriction enzymes and ligases using vectors and cloning the fragments into host cells. The other type is in vitro which is using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to create copies of fragments of DNA.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
