Answer:

The correct answer is B.surviving droughts

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic engineering is involved in producing disease-resistant crops and even drought-resistant crops. This is done with the help of transferring the valuable genes to the crop that gives them the capability to survive the drought condition for longer times.

For example, Japan used a particular gene of rise that are found in the dry regions of philippine and transferred the gene to the rice variety they used to grow and saw that their variety now gives more production during drought.

Thus, surviving drought is an advantage that crops may attain through genetic engineering.
