Answer 1

Answer: (D)

High vitamin A content

Golden rice is a variety of rice (Oryza sativa) produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize $\beta$-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the edible parts of rice. The research that led to golden rice was conducted with the goal of helping children who suffer from vitamin A deficiency (VAD).

So, the correct answer is 'High vitamin A content'.
