AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which process involves viruses helping in the transfer of bacterial genes. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Conjugation**: This is a process where genetic material is transferred between bacteria through direct contact. It does not involve viruses. - **Option B: Transformation**: This process involves the uptake of free DNA from the environment by a bacterium. It also does not involve viruses. - **Option C: Transduction**: This is the process where viruses (bacteriophages) transfer genetic material from one bacterium to another. This is the process that involves viruses. 3. **Identifying the Correct Process**: Based on the analysis, transduction is the only process that specifically involves viruses in the transfer of bacterial genes. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **Option C: Transduction**. ---
