Correct option is C
The correct answer is: (C) Transgenic Cotton
Explanation:
Transgenic cotton refers to cotton that has been genetically modified by transferring a Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) gene into the cotton plant. The inclusion of this gene allows the plant to produce a protein that is toxic to specific pests,
such as the cotton bollworm, offering natural protection. This type of cotton is an example of a genetically modified organism (GMO).
Information Key Points:
The Bt gene provides resistance to cotton bollworm and other pests.
It reduces the need for chemical pesticides in cotton cultivation.
It is an example of genetic engineering to improve agricultural productivity.
