Answer
A
It cures all cases of cystic fibrosis.
B
It involves the modification of DNA.
C
It is easy to apply to all cells affected by the disorder.
D
It attempts to replace a mutated gene with normal DNA.
E
It does not always cure patients who use it.

Explanation

Gene therapy involves changing genetic material, so it involves DNA modification. One approach attempts to replace or correct a mutated gene using normal DNA. It is not easy to reach every affected cell, and it does not always cure the condition; therefore, the statements that it cures all cases of cystic fibrosis and is easy to apply to all affected cells are not accurate.
