Answer:

D

Explanation:

1. A genetically modified (GM) or transgenic crop is a plant that has a combination of genetic material of two or more than two organisms, and it is obtained by the use of modern biotechnology.

2. Example: a genetically modified crop can contain a gene or genes of other organisms that has been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring it through pollination.

3. Genetic technology has the potential to reduce the cost of many foods and it can improve their quality as well as quantity.
