Potential Benefits of Genetically Engineered Plants

Steps:

• Identify common benefits: increased yield, pest resistance, nutritional improvement, and environmental advantages.
• Evaluate statements 1-6 based on these (assuming standard examples: 1=pest resistance, 2=higher yield, 3=better nutrition, 4=potential allergen risk, 5=ecosystem disruption, 6=high cost).
• Match benefits to options: 1,2,3 align with positive outcomes.
• Select option listing only true benefits.

Why A is correct:

• Statements 1,2,3 directly correspond to established benefits like pest resistance (reduces pesticide use) and enhanced nutrition, per genetic engineering principles.

Why the others are wrong:

• B includes 6, which likely states a drawback like development costs, not a benefit.
• C includes 4, often a risk such as unintended gene transfer, not a benefit.
• D includes 4 and 5, both potential harms like biodiversity loss.

Not enough information on exact statements to confirm details.

Final answer: A
