GMO stands for a genetically modified organism. 

This means that scientists genetically engineer an organism, usually to change it or take its best trait from it to create a new organism that is more efficient.
An example is growing crops. Scientists may take two crops, one that is highly nutritious and the other that is drought resistant. Genetically engineering them to form a new plant will create a GMO - that will most likely be highly nutritious and also drought resistant - thus two good qualities from two different plants were taken and modified to be in the one plant.

GMO is a very clever and sufficient way for farming as they can grow stronger and won't as easily die and shrivel away. However, they can also be dangerous to eat since they've undergone genetic modification.

Hope this helps.

In this set of examples the answer is:

D) The lamprey does not have a vertical column

Lampreys have a notochord that remains throughout life, but they have primitive vertebrae made of cartilage. Lampreys have vertebral arches, but nothing resembling the vertebral bodies found in all higher vertebrates. Even the arches are discontinuous, consisting of separate pieces of arch-shaped cartilage around the spinal cord in most parts of the body, changing to long strips of cartilage above and below in the tail region.
