Solution
The correct option is D Plasmids A plasmid is a small DNA molecule that is physically separate from, and can replicate independently of, chromosomal DNA within a cell. Plasmids play an integral role in genetic engineering experiments. In genetic engineering, DNA is required to move from test-tube environment to cellular environment. Plasmid being small in size makes it easier to complete this task. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
