Solution

The correct option is B Recombinant DNA technique
Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. Recombinant DNA technology is the technique that is used to introduce a new gene in to the genome of an organism using a vector. Hybridization can also alter the genome of the organism, however, molecular level manipulation of the genome is only possible by using R-DNA technology.
