The right answer is B. transgenic organism .

Transgenesis is the act of implanting one or more genes in a living organism. This transgene can be expressed in the transformed organism. A strategy initially used by researchers to study the function of genes, this approach is also used by the pharmaceutical and agri-food industries.
