Answer:
1. the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.
2. GM crops are made through a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of commercial interest are transferred from one organism to another. Two primary methods currently exist for introducing transgenes into plant genomes. The first involves a device called a 'gene gun'.
3. Crops do not damage the environment simply because they are GM. Some farming practices, such as the overuse of herbicides resulting in the excessive eradication of wild plants from farmland have been shown to harm the environment. These problems are similar for non-GM and GM crops.

The correct answer is:
D
.Villi in the small intestine have thin-walled capillaries to make the absorption of nutrients more efficient.
Explanation:
The small intestines are well adjusted for absorbing nutrients during digestion by being very long, having villi and microvilli that enlarge surface area, using muscular contractions to move and mix food, and raising and housing digestive enzymes and bile that aid the breakdown of food. The inner surface of the small intestine is not flat but thrown into circular folds, which not only enhance surface area but aid in preparing the ingesta by acting as baffles. Villi: the mucosa makes multitudes of ridges which project into the lumen and are satisfied with epithelial cells.
Not to be too picky, but the question ought to say a positively charge ion rather than atom.
I will assume that is what you mean. An ion, using ordinary means, will be positive if it loses electrons (which are negative).
An ion can never gain protons. Left alone, the nucleus will remain unchanged for the rest of eternity. D is wrong.
C is wrong. If electrons are gained, the ion will go negative.
B is wrong for the same reason D is. An ion can't gain protons and it can't lose them.
A is the answer.
