Answer 1

The correct option is A Produce pest resistant varieties of plant

Biotechnology provides farmers with tools that can make production cheaper and more manageable. For example, some biotechnology crops can be engineered to tolerate specific herbicides, which makes weed control simpler and more efficient. Other crops have been engineered to be resistant to specific plant diseases and insect pests, which can make pest control more reliable and effective, and can decrease the use of synthetic pesticides.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
