Solution

The correct option is D Dolly
In a genetically modified organism, the DNA of the organism is altered. Bt brinjal is inserted with a new gene for cry proteins. This protein which is produced helps to protect the crop plant from the infestation by boll worm. The golden rice is introduced with a gene which produces pro-vitamin A. This helps to provide the common people with the vitamin and reduce the chances of people losing their eyesight due to vitamin deficiency. Tracy is the modified sheep produced by genetic engineering. The sheep is capable to produce the human protein alpha antitrypsin, in her milk. This can be used as a therapeutic product. Dolly is the first sheep which was made by cloning technique
So, the correct answer is 'Dolly'
