Answer;

A. The idea has not yet achieved scientific consensus.

Explanation;

-Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient’s cells instead of using drugs or surgery.

-Although gene therapy is a promising treatment option for a number of diseases, such as inherited disorders and some types of cancer, the technique remains risky and is still under study to make sure that it will be safe and effective. Which means the idea of gene therapy has not yet achieved scientific consensus.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be d. thymus.

The thymus is a specialized lymphoid organ of an immune system.

It serves as the site for training and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells.  

It is composed two identical lobes each containing outer region termed as cortex and inner region termed as medulla.

T-cells are first trained and selected in the cortex region via positive selection. In this, T cells which are able to bind to foreign antigens are selected and rest are degraded.

The selected T cells then move in the medulla region where they are selected by negative selection. In this, the T cells which binds to self-antigens are degraded and rest survive to become functional T cells.
