Solution

The correct option is A Bacillus thuringiensis
Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming insecticidal bacteria. It has Bt gene. This gene produces a protein crystal that is toxic to insects. This Bt toxin becomes active at the high pH of gut of insect. It then attacks the gut cells of the insect and make holes in the lining.
