Solution

The correct option is A Herbicides
Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide and therefore, crops engineered for glyphosate are resistant/tolerant to herbicides. These crops are designed to tolerate specific broad-spectrum herbicides, which kill the surrounding flora but leave the cultivated crop intact. Current glyphosate-resistant crops include soy, maize (corn), canola, alfalfa, sugar beets, and cotton, with wheat still under development.
