Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
Agrobacterium tumefacien bacteria are generally used in genetic engineering for the transfer of character from one organism to another.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil bacterium, which is used to transfer a small segment of DNA into the plant genome by the process known as transformation.
The T-DNA that Agrobacterium inserts into the plant genome contains instructions that will be copied into every cell that develops from this first genetically modified cell.
