The answer is C. simply because the rest are not benefits but rather are harmful occurrences

A. talk about sheep having arthritis which is a disease and in this case genetic modification is possibly the cause of it

B. the transfer of modified genes to other crops is not a good thing because the genes are modified and this can cause unknown negative mutations

D. in general unpredictable genetic changes are most of the time negative and there's a small chance of that mutation being positive
