Solution

The correct option is D Conjugation
Bacterial conjugation is the horizontal gene transfer process in which there is transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by a bridge-like cell contact between two cells. During bacterial conjugation, there is usually a partial transfer of genetic material from one conjugant to the other.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Conjugation.'
