Solution
The correct option is B Karl Ereky
Hungarian engineer Karl Ereky first coined the term 'biotechnology' in 1919, meaning the production of products from raw materials with the aid of living organisms.
Craig Venter, an American geneticist and biochemist, pioneered new techniques in genetics and genomics research, especially in the Human Genome Project (HGP).
Boyer studied many restriction enzymes related to E.coli. These enzymes were specific in their cutting locations.
Cohen worked on plasmids, isolated them from one bacterium and then reinserted into another cell.
Work of both these scientists (Boyer and Cohen) helped to specifically isolate and insert segments of DNA in host cells and use them as factories to produce various products like plant proteins.
