Solution

The correct option is B genetic engineering
Crop production can be improved by using genetic engineering in which the genes with desired characteristics are introduced into a particular plant to produce new varieties. These varieties are called genetically modified seeds (GMS). These seeds produced are of good quality and grow in areas with different climatic conditions and different soils.
