The processing and transfer of T-DNA from Agrobacterium to plant cells is regulated by the activity of the vir genes.  Gene pyramiding refers to the process of stacking multiple genes into a single genotype to combine desirable traits through recombinant DNA technology. Hence,the correct answer is option 4.
