Solution

The correct option is B Genetic Engineering

Crop variety can be improved by hybridisation. It involves crossing between genetically dissimilar plants to produce plants with superior traits. Crops can also be improved by using genetic engineering in which the desired gene is introduced into a particular plant. This technique aims at specific and targeted changes in the plant.
