The correct answer is - option A. horizontal gene transfer.

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer allows the gene movement or the flow from the genome of the one organism to another genome of the organism. It occurs in between prokaryotes of different types of species commonly even between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Thus, the correct answer is - Option A. horizontal gene transfer.
