Correct choice: "Changing the genome of an organism."
Explanation: genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) means directly altering an organism’s DNA using biotechnology — adding, removing or editing genes (methods include recombinant DNA, CRISPR, etc.). It is different from selective breeding, which changes traits over generations by choosing parents but does not directly edit DNA. It also isn’t “creating species from nothing,” though it can produce organisms with new combinations of traits.
