Answer:

(a). a bacterium uptakes genetic information from the environment

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacterial transformation can be defined as a process of gene transfer, in which bacterial cell uptakes naked DNA molecule from its environment through the membrane.

It is a method of horizontal gene transfer that involves transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another without sexual reproduction.

thus, the correct answer is option (a).
