Solution

The correct option is C I and III
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used in molecular biology to amplify a single copy of DNA to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
Molecular cloning is a method used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms to increase the number of recombinant DNA molecule. Here, the DNA can be cloned in a plasmid (extracellular DNA).
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
