Solution
The correct option is A Nematodes
RNAi has also been exploited in plants to develop resistance against nematodes and this approach has appeared as a novel tool to control plant parasitic nematodes. dsRNAs can be produced through engineered plants that have the ability to silence target genes in nematode body. The delivery of dsRNAs from plant to nematode occurs by the ingestion process of plant cytoplasm and after its ingestion into the nematode body, accelerates the RNAi, that results in inactivation of targeted genes through dsRNA.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
