Solution

The correct option is D Insects pest
Sporeine is the trade name given to the commercial product made from Bt. The active ingredient in Bt is a toxic protein that actually binds to specific sites on the midgut. It is mainly used as an insecticide in agriculture. The earliest commercial production of Bt began in France in approximately 1938, under the trade name Sporeine. Thus, option D is correct.
