Solution
The correct option is C Recombinant DNA technology
Recombinant DNA technology is the technique of producing unique recombinant DNA by combining the DNA sequences from two different organisms.
This process includes the isolation and separation of the gene of interest from one organism by using restriction enzymes they cut the DNA at specific locations, cloned using an appropriate cloning vector and its incorporation into the genome of the cell of another organism (host) using the cloning vector.
Polymerase Chain Reaction is a process carried in vitro to amplify the DNA or gene of interest and create its multiple copies.
Agarose gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate out DNA fragments based on their size.
