Verified
A large number of copies of any DNA segment can be obtained by:
A) introducing foreign DNA into a microorganism so that it can be replicated
B) stimulating increased transcription of the appropriate sequence of mRNA
C) stimulating increased translation of the appropriate DNA molecule
D) inducing the production of DNA from proteins
E) stimulating reverse transcription of tRNA
Microorganism
A microscopic organism, such as a bacteria, virus, or fungus, that can be found in a wide range of environments.
DNA Segment
A specific sequence of DNA within a chromosome characterized by a particular function or genetic information.
Reverse Transcription
The process by which the information contained in RNA molecules is transcribed into DNA molecules.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The correct method for obtaining a large number of copies of any DNA segment involves introducing the foreign DNA into a microorganism (such as bacteria) so that it can be replicated. This process is a fundamental aspect of recombinant DNA technology, where the inserted DNA is replicated along with the host's DNA, allowing for the production of multiple copies.
