<h2>The correct answer is (c).</h2>

Explanation:

  • <u>Bt crops</u> are the crops which are genetically engineered.
  • They produce the toxin which is similar to Bt so crop is protected from the pests.
  • As Bt crops are widely used, some pests show Bt resistance.
  • <u>Recombinant DNA technology</u> or RDT is the technique which is used for joining molecules of DNA that belongs to two different species.
  • A new genetic combination is seen when the recombinant DNA molecule is inserted into a host organism.
  • Hence, the genetically engineered crops have an advantageous gene from another organism inserted into their genome.
