Solution

The correct option is A Gene therapy
Gene therapy is a treatment that involves the introduction of a normal copy of one or more genes into a patient to replace defective gene(s) responsible for the patient’s disease. When a gene is damaged, the corresponding protein becomes abnormal or non-functional and it results in a diseased condition. The goal of gene therapy is to cure a genetic disease by repairing/replacing the damaged gene responsible for the disease.
