D Correct answer
Explanation

In cisgenic (intragenic) organisms, genes are rearranged or rewritten within the genome (involves genes from same species). In famigenic organisms, genes are introduced to a organism from closely related species (species in the same family) through genetic engineering. A transgenic organism contains genes from unrelated species. Xenogenic organisms contains laboratory-designed genes.
