Probably this one:
c. The sticky ends of fragmented DNA are joined with vector DNA.
Although if you are working with plants, this one is good too. Your "carrier" is the bead that is the ammunition for a gene gun.
b. The DNA fragments are connected to a carrier to be inserted into a host.

Jaz, shouldnt it be A ? Seems more likely. Also sticky ends are joined by ligase and not a vector
