Correct answer
A. biolistics
Step-by-step solution
Gene transfer is present in biolistics. This technique involves firing of microscopic gold particles coated with the foreign DNA at the cells using a compressed air gun. It is designed to overcome the problem of strong cell wall in plant tissues. These particles can penetrate the cell wall, the cell and the nuclear membrane to deliver the DNA to the nucleus.
