Solution

The correct option is A pBR322

A plasmid is an extrachromosomal genetic element of DNA or RNA, that is capable of replicating independently of the host chromosome. Among the 4 choices, only pBR322 is a plasmid. The remaining three options are restriction enzymes. The restriction enzymes help in cutting DNA, including plasmids, at specific sequences, in the form of sticky or blunt ends.
