Solution

The correct option is D Golden rice
Night blindness is caused by the deficiency of vitamin A. In the developing countries, golden rice, which is a genetically modified rice engineered with elevated levels of beta carotene, a precursor of Vitamin A, is considered to provide a solution. The elevated levels of beta carotene gives its golden color.
