The correct option is A Flavr savr

Flavr Savr is a genetically modified tomato, was the first commercially grown genetically engineered food to be granted a license for human consumption. It was produced by the Californian company Calgene and submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992. Thus, option A is correct.
