Solution

The correct option is D Shelf life
Flavr Savr tomato
.
Flavr Savr is a transgenic tomato variety developed by antisense RNA technology.

The gene responsible for ripening, that is, beta-polygalacturonase, is silenced in this case. Hence, tomatoes remain fresh for a longer period.

In this way, the shelf life of tomatoes can be increased.
