Transduction in bacteria is the process where DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria). Option A describes transformation, option B is not a common natural - occurring process in the context of this question, and option C is about the change in the life - cycle of a bacteriophage within a bacterium.
