Answer:

C. increase crop yields

Explanation:

Genetically modified organisms are those organisms that have been improved using genetic engineering procedures. Genetic engineering/modification is the manipulation of an organism's genome in order to get an improved organism with desirable traits.

The organisms being genetically modified or engineered is called GMO or transgenic organisms. Hence, in this case, one feature of the crops being genetically modified is to have an INCREASED YIELD.

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A: $KClO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, $K^+$ which is a metal and $ClO_4^-$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B: $Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, $Mg^{2+}$ which is a metal and $C_2H_3O_2^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C: $H_2S$

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D: $Ag_2S$

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, $Ag^{+}$ which is a metal and sulfur, $S^{2-}$ which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E: $N_2Cl_4$

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F: $Co(NO_3)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, $Co^{2+}$ which is a metal and $NO_3^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.
