Which of the following terms best describes a collection of many techniques currently used to genetically improve plants?
A
agriculture biotechnology
B
micro-propagation
C
genetic engineering
D
conventional genetics
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Agricultural Biotechnology: A range of tools, including traditional breeding techniques, that alter living organisms, or parts of organisms, to make or modify products; improve plants or animals; or develop microorganisms for specific agricultural uses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Agricultural biotechnology, also known as agritech, is an area of agricultural science involving the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular markers, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and tissue culture, to modify living organisms: plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetically modified crops are often created by inserting genes of desired traits by the method of hybridization. Hence the correct answer is option A-Recombinant DNA technique. Note: The production of transgenic or genetically changed crops offers a lot of yields and disease resistance.

Detailed explanation-4: -The segments of the DNA molecule are called genes which enable the DNA to make features. Molecular cloning and transformation are the techniques which are used in genetic engineering.
