Correct answer: A. Gene therapy
- A. Gene therapy
- B. Radiotherapy
- C. Chemotherapy
- D. Physiotherapy
Explanation
Gene therapy is a method of treating diseases by altering the genetic material within a person's cells and often involves using bone marrow cells. Bone marrow contains stem cells that can be used in gene therapy applications to treat various genetic disorders. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and physiotherapy do not involve the use of bone marrow cells. Radiotherapy uses radiation, chemotherapy uses drugs, and physiotherapy focuses on physical rehabilitation techniques.
