Solution
The correct option is A Transduction
Transduction is the process by which genetic material (DNA) is transferred from one bacterium to another through the mediation of a vector, like virus.
Other options are incorrect because bacterial conjugation is the transfer of genetic material (plasmid) between bacterial cells by direct cell to cell contact or by a bridge like connection between two cells.
Translation is the process in which cellular ribosomes create proteins. It is a part of the process of gene expression.
Bacterial transformation is a process of gene transfer by which some bacteria take up foreign genetic material from the environment.
