Answers (1)

The answer is the option (c) A transgenic rice having the gene for beta-carotene

Explanation: (c) Golden rice is a genetically modified variety of rice that has been engineered to contain a gene for beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. This rice is named for its distinctive golden-yellow color, which is a visible indicator of its enhanced nutritional content. By providing a source of beta-carotene, golden rice aims to combat vitamin A deficiency in populations that rely heavily on rice as a staple food.
