The correct answer is this one: " D) These fish could have been produced by introducing the DNA of a coral or jellyfish into an empty fish egg. "

Here are the choices.

A) These fish have recombinant DNA.

B) These fish are transgenic animals.

C) A vector, such as a plasmid or virus, may have been needed to get the foreign genes into fish cells.

Of all the options given:

D) These fish could have been produced by introducing the DNA of a coral or jellyfish into an empty fish egg.

is incorrect, as by introducing the DNA into an empty fish egg there will be no recombination taking place and the resulting organism would have no fish DNA.
