Explanation / Answer

Transfection refers to the introduction of DNA into eukaryotic cells. The cells that have used the introduced DNA are known as transfectants. Stable transfection refers to the cells that have integrated the introduced DNA into their genome. Thus, the transfected cells and their next generations will express the protein encoded in the foreign DNA. Transient transfection is where the cells that have not integrated the introduced DNA into their genome so the encoded protein from the foreign DNA will be expressed for a short period of time only.

So, the answer is D. Neither a nor b
