The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for a creative technique that involves repairing or replacing defective genes. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - Gene therapy - Genetic recombination - Gene cloning - None of these 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Gene Therapy**: This is a technique that uses nucleic acid polymers as a drug to treat diseases by correcting genetic abnormalities. It often involves replacing a mutated gene with a functional one. - **Genetic Recombination**: This refers to the exchange of genetic material between different organisms, which results in offspring with combinations of traits. It does not specifically involve repairing or replacing defective genes. - **Gene Cloning**: This is the process of locating and copying a specific gene of interest from an organism's DNA. While it involves genes, it does not focus on repairing or replacing defective genes. - **None of These**: This option implies that none of the provided options are correct, which is not the case here. 4. **Determine the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, gene therapy is the only option that specifically involves the repair or replacement of defective genes. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **Gene Therapy**. ---
