Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Recombinant DNA is about combining DNA from different sources, not reading an organism's DNA.
• Option B: Genetic modification involves altering an organism's genes, not reading DNA.
• Option C: DNA synthesis is creating new DNA, not reading existing DNA.
