Solution

The correct option is A Golden rice

Lack of Vitamin A causes night blindness in kids. This can also cause permanent blindness if not rectified by proper nutrition. Golden rice contains Vitamin – A, so blindness is prevented by use of golden rice in poor countries. Golden rice is a transgenic crop that was made to produce Vitamin A.
