Making changes in the DNA of an organism is
A
selective breeding
B
artificial selection
C
genetic engineering
D
genetic transformation
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: -The distinction between the two is based on purpose. Gene therapy seeks to alter genes to correct genetic defects and thus prevent or cure genetic diseases. Genetic engineering aims to modify the genes to enhance the capabilities of the organism beyond what is normal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic engineering is the modification of an organism’s phenotype by manipulating its genetic material. Some genetic engineering uses the principle of recombination. Recombination is the process through which a new gene is inserted into a bacterial DNA “The plasmid".
