Answer: I and II only

Biotechnology is the broad discipline of biology that deals with the use of living organisms and their products in an advance way so as to address the problems related with the ailments of human society such as increasing the availability of food, improving the quality of food and medication, and improving the health of the living organisms.

Genetical engineering involves the manipulation of the genome of the organisms so as to produce genetically modified organisms, addressing the problems of genetic disorders and diseases and others.

Biomimicry refers to the creation of exact replica or clone of the biological specimen of cell, genome or the entire organisms. It is also used to increase the population of plants, microbes used as a source of food and medicines. Hence, this can be used to provide rid of the problems of starvation and diseases.

Biopiracy refers to the practice of commercial exploitation of the natural biochemical or genetic material obtained from the living organisms. It is basically the exploitation of the field of biotechnology.
