The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Flavr Savr tomato is a genetically modified crop produced by the technique of RNAi or RNA interference that silenced the gene for the enzyme that softened the pulp of tomato by introducing the anti-sense RNA for the gene.
Golden rice is a genetically modified variety of rice that is capable of producing vitamin A. It appears golden in color as the beta-carotenoid is expressed in it and beta-carotenoids are the precursors of vitamin A.
