The right answer is D.


Gene therapy is a method of introducing nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) into the cells of an organism to correct an abnormality, such as a mutation, causing a pathology. It is often a question of bringing a normal and functional gene (transgene) into a cell where the present gene is altered.

Another method can bring RNA capable of partially regulating or blocking the expression of an altered gene.
