Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A genetically modified tomato known as Flavr Savr was the initial commercially developed genetically engineered food that was given license for human use. In the Flavr Savr tomatoes, the gene, which is accountable for ripening is amended with the help of genetic engineering procedure, so that the shelf life of tomato get enhanced, or it can be said that the procedure of ripening in tomatoes get slow down due to genetic changes, that is, by minimizing the expression of already prevailing gene.
