The correct answer is:

1, 2, and 3

Recombinant DNA technology, also known as genetic engineering, enables the transfer of genes across different species of plants (1), from animals to plants (2), and from microorganisms to higher organisms (3). This technology involves the manipulation and modification of DNA to introduce desired traits or characteristics into an organism. By transferring genes, scientists can enhance or alter the genetic makeup of organisms for various purposes such as improving crop yield, introducing specific traits, or producing valuable proteins.
