E
Aerospace engineering
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic Engineering Used in research and industry, genetic engineering has been applied to the production of cancer therapies, brewing yeasts, genetically modified plants and livestock, and more.

Detailed explanation-2: -We can use genetic engineering to introduce a new sequence of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) into plants, making them more resistant to insects. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops, for example, are genetically engineered crops that contain bacterium crystal toxins that make them more resistant to other insects.

Detailed explanation-3: -In medicine, genetic engineering has been used to mass-produce insulin, human growth hormones, follistim (for treating infertility), human albumin, monoclonal antibodies, antihemophilic factors, vaccines, and many other drugs. In research, organisms are genetically engineered to discover the functions of certain genes.
