Zachariah Macdonald · Answer 1

The accurate answer is:

D. Transformation

The reason behind this is:

*Conjugation is wrong because it's an Spanish verb

*Binary fission is wrong because it's an asexual reproduction

*Transduction is wrong because for example someone comes to school sick and then sneeze on another student now let's see what happens inside.

Since that sick kid sneezed other the other student the DNA is combining with a cell with a virus
