What is a biggest benefit of using biotechnologies in agriculture?
A
Increase modifications
B
Increase resistance
C
Decreased nutrition
D
Increase crop yield
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biotechnology provides farmers with tools that can make production cheaper and more manageable. For example, some biotechnology crops can be engineered to tolerate specific herbicides, which make weed control simpler and more efficient.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to creating better foods and feeds, biotechnology helps fiber producers and manufacturers, too. For example, cotton varieties are being developed that will produce sturdier, wrinkle-resistant or fire-retardant fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Agricultural Biotechnology is the use of new scientific techniques based on our understanding of DNA to improve crops and livestock that are not possible with conventional breeding alone. This can be achieved in part by modern molecular plant breeding techniques such as marker-assisted selection (MAS).
