Detailed explanation-1: -And in the question we have that it is genetically modified to have vitamin A, which the previous variety of rice did not have. So we can say that option is the correct answer, which is genetic engineering.
Detailed explanation-2: -The inventors of Golden Rice partnered with Syngenta and other scientists, producing an improved version-which was the result of adding a gene from maize and the same soil microorganism-with a level of beta carotene content twenty times higher than the first version.
Detailed explanation-3: -Golden Rice was engineered from normal rice by Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer in the 1990s to help improve human health. Golden Rice has an engineered multi-gene biochemical pathway in its genome. This pathway produces beta-carotene, a molecule that becomes vitamin A when metabolized by humans.
Detailed explanation-4: -Golden Rice is a bioengineered crop with yellow-colored endosperm that contains -carotene (provitamin A).
Detailed explanation-5: -Golden rice is a variety of rice (Oryza sativa) produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the edible parts of the rice. It is intended to produce a fortified food to be grown and consumed in areas with a shortage of dietary vitamin A.
