Answer:

A. an F episome is transferred to a new cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hfr strains arise from the integration of the plasmid into the bacterial cell in one of several ways such as the recombination of events. Most commonly are formed by the UV-induced integration of E coil F factor. It tries to transfer a copy of the F factors as well the entire chromosome to the recipient bacterium.
