Answer: 2. Gene therapy

Treating a disease by correcting a defective gene, by delivering a normal gene into a person's cells and tissues, is gene therapy. Example: ADA deficiency.

Biopiracy is exploiting bioresources without permission, molecular diagnosis is detecting disease at the molecular level, and safety testing checks products.
