To alter the DNA of an organism in order to get the traits that are desired.
A
Genetic Engineering
B
Selective Breeding
C
Cloning
D
Inbreeding
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism. This may involve changing a single base pair (A-T or C-G), deleting a region of DNA or adding a new segment of DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Using recombinant DNA technology to modify an organism’s DNA to achieve desirable traits is called genetic engineering.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genome editing (also called gene editing) is a group of technologies that give scientists the ability to change an organism’s DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -A transgenic, or genetically modified, organism is one that has been altered through recombinant DNA technology, which involves either the combining of DNA from different genomes or the insertion of foreign DNA into a genome.
