Gene markers that are resistant to antibiotics are used, providing the possibility for humans to have increased antibiotic resistance.
Products that are used to genetically engineer medicine are poisonous.
Restriction enzymes are used to create the medicine and have been known to cause cancer.

The correct answer is option A

The negative consequence of the genetically engineered medicines that it may use the gene markers and these gene markers are resistant to antibiotic.

Using the antibiotic resistant gene markers can make the body of the human being more resistant towards antibiotics.

The overuse of anything is bad for the body and so is the use of antibiotic resistant genetically engineered medicines that makes the body more resistant towards antibiotics.
