Answer: C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits.

Explanation:

The genetic engineering involves the insertion of genes from other organism to the host organism so as to make up genetically modified organism. Some unwanted and default genes are also removed from the organisms so that their body function properly.

The genetically modified foods are the examples of genetic engineering. This is done to produce desirable traits in the food crops. In plants both plants and animal genes are inserted to improve the yield of crops, and to improve their quality. In animals, the insertion of genes of other animals is likely to improve the milk and meat yield.

This food chain can be found in the coastal waters of Virginia which organisms in this food chain are herbivore
garik1379 [7]

The right answer is Damselfish

The damselfish is a species of herbivorous fish that contributes to a balance of marine plants by eating algae among corals, to prevent the proliferation of algae and to promote the growth of coral reefs. The parrotfish (Scaridae) or "coral cleaner" has the same similarity of the diet with the same equilibrium that the damselfish offers, but it can also feed on coral.
