Answer:

The correct option is: A) Complementation test

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementation test is used for determining that the mutations in the two strains, associated with a particular phenotype, are present in different genes.

The mutations are said to be complementary, if present in different genes.

Therefore, the complementation test is the process for determining the function of the gene in recessive allelism.
