Electroporation is a molecular biology technique in which an electrical field is created to create pores in the cell wall of the host cells. This results in the increase in the permeability of the cells and they allow the entry of the chemicals, drugs, or DNA molecules into the cell. This technique can be used to modify the genome of the bacteria, yeast and plant cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
