Solution

The correct option is A Biopatenting
A patent is a type of intellectual property right that would provide the owner the legal right to ensure that no one else benefits from making, using, or selling the invention, for a limited period of time.

Patents which are granted for biological entities or the products derived from them is called biopatent.

Therefore, the laws and rules to prevent unauthorised exploitation of bio-resources are termed as biopatents.

Piracy is the unauthorised duplication and selling of copyrighted content.

The use of biological resources by multinational companies and other organisations without the authorisation from the concerned nation and people or without providing compensatory payment to them is known as biopiracy.

Bioethics are a set of moral principles and standards to regulate human perception with respect to exploitation of living organisms for human interest. It includes rules of conduct that would regulate human and biotechnological activities.

The application of engineering knowledge to the fields of medicine and biology is called bioengineering.
