Solution

The correct option is D All the above

Tomato as we see it today is modified from a puny berry-like fruit by cross pollination and selective breeding. As a result, the tomatoes are juicier, bigger, more pest-resistant, easy to grow and quick to ripen. Modifications were also made using cloning and genetic engineering techniques to increase it’s shelf life while retaining its flavour.
