Which of the following is likely to be achieved in the coming two decades?

1. A complete understanding of the brain-mind interaction
2. Control of cancer
3. Correction of genetic basis of diabetes mellitus
4. Production of biodegradable plastic rather than cellulose by higher plants

Correct answer: Correction of genetic basis of diabetes mellitus

Solution

Correcting the genetic basis of diabetes mellitus is the most plausible near-term achievement because advances in genomics, gene editing, and personalized medicine are rapidly moving toward targeted interventions. The other choices are either far more complex or too speculative to expect complete success within two decades.
