Which of the following is the quality of improved transgenic basmati rice?
Correct answer: B. Gives high yield and is rich in vitamin A
- A. Gives high yield but no characteristic aroma
- B. Gives high yield and is rich in vitamin A
- C. Does not require chemical fertilizers and growth hormones
- D. Resistant to insects and diseases
Explanation
The improved transgenic basmati rice described here combines increased yield with provitamin A enrichment, a trait associated with Golden Rice-type genetic modification. Students may choose insect and disease resistance because those are common benefits of transgenic crops such as Bt cotton, but they are not the stated improvement in this rice variety.
