Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are

Bacteria producing human insulin

B

Pharm animals

C

Microorganisms for preventing pollution

Genetic engineering uses the principle of manipulation of the genetic material to get the desired characteristics. This technology has produced many new varieties of organisms like bacteria producing human insulin, cattle producing proteins of therapeutic use (pharm animals), microorganisms used in the prevention of pollution, animals with high aesthetic values, plants with drought resistance, etc.
Yeast used for making alcohol from sugar is not a product of genetic engineering.
