Answer:

The World Trade Organization decision in 2006 was related to genetically modified crops because (B) Individual countries were creating an unfair trade barrier if they banned genetically modified crops.

Explanation:

In 2006, World Trade Organization stated that Europe had illegally restricted the import of genetically modified crops. But Europe argued that the crops posed legitimate risks on people’s health and environment. So, it took time for them to take decisions and make regulations.
