The genetic engineering of human cells is achieved by treating a relative's cultured bone marrow cells with genetically engineered viruses and then injecting these cells into the patient's bone marrow. So the correct option is C.

<h3>What is gene therapy? </h3><h3> </h3>

A medical approach designed for the treatment or prevention of diseases by fixing genetic problems is called gene therapy. In this treatment,  doctors are able to treat a genetic disorder by changing the genetic makeup of a person.

Gene therapy methods, also referred to as gene addition or gene transfer are used for the purpose of -

  • Introduction of a new gene into the cells that will fight diseases.
  • Introduction of the correct gene sequence to replace the incorrect sequence that is causing the disease.

Therefore the correct option is C.
