The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

M13: M13 is a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) known for infecting E. coli cells containing an F-plasmid, and it has a single-stranded circular genome. This single stranded nature is very useful in many biological and biotechnological procedures. Agrobacterium tumefaciens: Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a bacterium used to transfer genes in plant cells. YEp: YEp is a yeast episomal plasmid and not related to E. coli. pBR322: pBR322 is a commonly used plasmid vector and not a virus, that is used in bacteria.
