Conjugation between a bacterium that lacks an F factor (F?) and a bacterium that has an F factor on its chromosome (F+) could produce which of the following results?

A) The F? bacterium ends up carrying one or more plasmids from the F+ bacterium; the F+ bacterium is unchanged.
B) The F+ bacterium ends up with a recombinant chromosome that carries some genes from the F? bacterium, and the F? bacterium ends up with an unaltered chromosome.
C) The F+ bacterium ends up with a recombinant chromosome that carries some genes from the F? bacterium, and the F? bacterium ends up with a chromosome that lacks those genes.
D) The F? bacterium ends up with a recombinant chromosome that carries some genes from the F+ bacterium, and the F+ bacterium ends up with an unaltered chromosome.
