Question

• A. soyabean
• B. Maize
• C. Golden rice
• D. Cucumber

Answer 1

The correct option is C Golden rice

Golden rice is a variety of rice produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the edible parts of rice. Golden rice was created by transforming rice with two beta-carotene biosynthesis genes: psy (phytoene synthase) from daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) crtI (carotene desaturase) from the soil bacterium Erwinia uredovora.

So, the correct option is 'Golden rice'.
