Solution

The correct option is A $β$ - Carotene
Golden rice has an engineered multi–gene biochemical pathway in its genome. This pathway produces beta–carotene, a molecule that becomes vitamin A when metabolized by humans. Golden rice is a genetically modified, biofortified crop. Biofortification increases the nutritional value in crops.
