Solution

The correct option is C Ti plasmid and retrovirous
The modified tumor inducing (Ti) plasmid of Agrobacterium
tumifaciens is used to deliver genes of interest into a variety of plants.

Similarly, disarmed retroviruses are now used to deliver desirable genes into animal cells.

Lamda bacteriophages are used as vectors for delivering gene of interest in bacteria.
