The correct answer is option 3: Brinjal. Genetically modified vegetables have undergone genetic engineering to introduce specific traits or characteristics. In recent years, GM Brinjal, also known as Bt Brinjal, has been developed and made available in the Indian market. Bt Brinjal is genetically modified to produce a protein called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin, which gives the plants resistance to certain pests. By introducing Bt toxin-producing genes, farmers can reduce the use of chemical pesticides and protect the crops from pest damage. However, it`s worth noting that the production and consumption of genetically modified crops raise concerns about health and environmental risks, as well as ethical and socio-economic issues. Therefore, it`s important to carefully assess and regulate the use of genetically modified organisms.
