Solution

The correct option is D Bt - Brinjal
The cry gene is responsible for producing the cry protein that binds to specialised receptors on the gut of the pests and induces bleeding which eventually kills the pests.
Pest resistant plants such as Bt-cotton and Bt-brinjal have the cry gene from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis, that produces these crystal toxins.
