Solution
The correct option is B Genetic engineering
Genetic engineering aims to add new DNA to an organism to add one or more new favorable traits which are not found in that organism. Tissue culture is the technique of growing cells in an artificial media under in vitro conditions. It does not introduce new gene but produce genetically identical tissues/cells. The total number of genetic traits as determined by genetic makeup of a species is known as genetic diversity. Thus, when the genotype of an organism is improved by the addition of foreign gene, the process is called genetic engineering.
