Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is:

c. Golden Rice

Explanation:

Golden Rice is a genetically modified organism that has been engineered to produce beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. This enriches the nutritional value of the rice, making it a valuable food source in regions where vitamin A deficiency is a public health concern.

The other options are not examples of genetically modified organisms with enriched nutritional value:

a. Bt corn is genetically modified to be resistant to certain insect pests.

b. FlavrSavr tomato is genetically modified to have a longer shelf life.

d. Humulin is a genetically engineered human insulin used to treat diabetes, not a food crop.
