Best answer
Correct answer is (c) Replicating DNA

The best explanation: If the DNA is to be inserted in a host other than E.coli than the DNA can be circular or linear and it should be non-replicating. As it is non-replicating, it can be stably maintained in the host only by integration into replicon.
