Answer:

E) horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer(HGT) is mainly seen in bacteria. Bacteria exchange their genetic material from the horizontal gene transfer method. There are three methods in HGT- conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

In conjugation, the bacteria exchange their plasmid through sex pilus. In transformation, bacteria take up other's genetic material from its environment and in transduction virus-mediated gene transfer occurs.  

Therefore in bacteria and nucleus, the genetic material exchange can occur only through HGT.
