The correct answer is option C, that is, the insects could grow resistant to the pesticide in the genetically-modified corn and become immune to regular pesticides.  

The genetically modified organisms are usually developed to be more resistant to pesticides or produce pesticides themselves. The GM crops do not have monarch butterflies or honeybees. However, the insects that consume genetically modified crops can, in some of the circumstances, begins to establish a resistance to the protein that usually kills them.

Cnidaria is categorized under the Animalia kingdom. It is made up of more that eleven thousand species, which all live in aquatic habitats; either fresh or salt water environments. There are four basic classes of cnidarians, these are: Anthozoa, Cubozoa, Scyphozoan and Hydrozoa.
