Solution

The correct option is B Plasmid
  • The genetic vectors are DNA molecules having the capability of autonomous replication within the host cell and in which we can insert other DNA sequences and amplify them.
  • The most common type is a plasmid.
  • There are other genetic vectors as well like viral vectors, phasmids, and cosmids etc.

So, the correct answer is 'Plasmid'.
