Solution
The correct option is B Early detection of diseases Transgenic technology could provide a means of transferring or increasing nutritionally beneficial traits.
Transgenic animals are useful in the production of vaccines. They are used as model organisms for testing the safety of vaccines before they are injected into humans. Transgenic animals have been useful in developing various useful biological products.
But early diagnosis of disease cannot be done by transgenic animals. Instead diagnosis of disease can be done only through techniques such as PCR and ELISA.
