C, A, B, D

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA contains genetic information from more than one source. It is widely used for amplification of particular genes in biotechnology. The steps for recombinant DNA technology are;

1) The restriction enzymes cut the specific gene of interest and paste it in plasmid.

2) The DNA ligase joins the strands.

3) Plasmid is inserted into bacteria.

4) Antibiotic selection is used to identify recombinant plasmids.
