Answer»

The correct choice is (b) Biolistics

The explanation is: Biolistics or gene gun is the method that uses a ‘disarmed PATHOGEN’ vector. A pathogen from which virulence or disease-causing genes are removed is known as a disarmed pathogen. It is a process in which DNA is transferred into a HOST WITHOUT any RISK of infection.
