The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about a scientific process where an animal's genotype is improved by introducing foreign genes. 2. **Identifying the Process**: The process of altering the genetic material of an organism is known as genetic engineering. This involves the manipulation of an organism's genome to enhance certain traits. 3. **Defining Key Terms**: - **Genotype**: The genetic constitution of an organism. - **Foreign Genes**: Genes that are not originally present in the organism, often referred to as transgenes when introduced into a host organism. 4. **Evaluating Options**: - **Immunization**: This process involves introducing antigens to stimulate an immune response, unrelated to genetic modification. - **Genetic Engineering**: This is the correct term for the process of altering an organism's genome by introducing foreign genes. - **Tissue Culture**: A technique primarily used in plant breeding, not applicable to the genetic modification of animals. - **Biotechnology**: A broad field that encompasses various techniques involving living organisms, but does not specifically refer to the process of genetic modification. 5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate term for the process described in the question is **Genetic Engineering**. **Final Answer**: Genetic Engineering ---

Assertion : Traditional hybridisation procedures used in plant and animal breeding, very often lead to inclusion and multiplication of underirable genes along with the desired genes. Reason :The techniques of genetic engineering overcome this limitation and allows us to isolate and introduce only one or a set of desirable genes without introducing undersirable genes into the target organis
