Correct answer
D. genetic engineering.
Step-by-step solution
Technique of manipulating prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic DNA has witnessed a remarkable development. This has allowed breaking of a DNA molecule at two desired places to isolate a specific DNA segment and then its insertion in another DNA molecule at a desired position. The product thus obtained is called DNA and the technique as genetic engineering.
