Gene therapy requires knowledge and availability of the wild-type allele of the defective gene, an ability to introduce the wild-type allele into the patient, and an ability to express the introduced gene at the correct level, time, and site within the patient. Therefore, option E is the correct answer as it includes all the required components for gene therapy. The other options either miss one or more critical components required for gene therapy or are outright incorrect.
