Golden rice is a genetically modified crop plant where the incorporated gene is meant for biosynthesis of:

1. Vitamin C

4. Vitamin B

Correct answer: Vitamin A

Solution

Golden rice contains genes that enable the rice endosperm to produce beta-carotene, which the human body converts into vitamin A. This helps address vitamin A deficiency, especially in populations relying heavily on rice.
