Answer:

The correct answer is C.They help in reproduction , antibiotic resistance, virulence and competition with other bacteria

Explanation:

Plasmids are the small, single circular DNA molecule that is different from the chromosomal DNA of bacteria. These plasmids can replicate independently from the chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are naturally found in bacteria.  

These plasmids contain some extra genes like antibiotic-resistant genes that provide bacteria an advantage in a competition over bacteria that do not have plasmid with antibiotic-resistant genes because when antibiotic is used against these bacteria the bacteria having antibiotic-resistant gene will survive.

Plasmid also code for virulence factors in bacteria like toxins, adhesin proteins, etc. Therefore the right answer is C.

Spontaneous recovery is a theory of learning and memory which involves unexpected and recurrence of a conditioned response after a period of reduced response or delay. Spontaneous recovery is associated with classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Extinction will happen quickly after a spontaneous recovery, if the conditioned and unconditioned stimulus is not connected.
