Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transduction is the transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another by a virus (bacteriophage).

When the virus infects another bacterial cell, the captured DNA can be transferred along with its own genetic material. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it involves the transfer of bacterial genes to another bacteria by a virus.
