Best answer
Right choice is (a) transfer vector

For explanation: The size of the viral genome is a problem because it is very large. It is solved by using a transfer vector. Transfer vector is composed of sequences that allow propagation of E.coli, the viral promoter, the polyhedrin mRNA polyadenylation signal and the polyhedron gene is flanked by the viral sequences.
