Solution
The correct option is B Resist chilling
The tobacco plant was genetically modified by introducing a gene to survive under the conditions of stress. The plants can bear extreme conditions like water stress, salinity, and temperature stress. The gene for Glycerol-1-phosphate acyltransferase enzyme was encoded in the transgenic tobacco plants. The enzyme causes an increase in the number of unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane. This allows the membrane to function properly and reduce the sensitivity to low temperature. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
