Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

" Scientists have changed the DNA of a type of cabbage so that it contains a tiny amount of poison from a scorpion’s tail. The poison in the cabbage kills caterpillars that try to eat it. What kind fo example has been exhibit? A). gene therapy B). selective breeding C). genetic engineering D). artificial selection "

Answer:

C). genetic engineering

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.

It is a set of technologies, based on recombinant DNA technology, used to alter the genetic composition of a living being, including the isolation, manipulation and transfer of intra and interspecific genes to produce new or improved organisms.

An example of the use of biotechnology can be seen in the question above, where the cabbage's DNA was manipulated so that it could release toxins that would kill pests that tried to feed on its leaves.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer is Genetic Engineering! Hope this helps!
