Solution

The correct option is B Biofortification
Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. It is a process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content.The micronutrients are not present in every type of food and results in the deficiency diseases. The plants can be developed to produce the micronutrients through hybridization or selective breeding. These foods can be helpful to prevent deficiency disorders.
