Answer:

I think C or D is the correct answer so

Answer 2

Golden rice is a genetically modified crop with a high Vitamin A content.

Explanation:

• Transgenic crops are those whose genetic makeup is altered by inserting or deleting certain parts of their genome which results in an increased yield or other benefits.
• Few examples of such crops are Flavr savr, Bt Cotton and Golden rice.
• Golden rice is a variety of rice in which the edible part of the rice synthesizes beta carotene  which is a precursor of Vitamin A.
• Lack of Vitamin A leads to blindness in kids and other vision problems in adults.
• It was originally synthesized for countries which suffered from Vitamin A deficiencies.
