Answer:

c. those genes that are located close to the site of the pophage insertion

Explanation:

In Specialized transduction, a restricted group of bacterial genes is passed to a different bacterium. Here, the prophage excises falsely from the chromosome such that the bacterial genes which are close to the site of the prophage insertion take part in the excised DNA.
