Correct answer

C. Animals with altered DNA structure

Step-by-step solution

Transgenic rats, rabbits, pigs, sheep, cows and fish have been produced, although over 95 per cent of all existing transgenic animals are mice. Why are these animals being produced? How can man benefit from such modifications?
