Correct Answer: Cotton


Solution : The correct option is Cotton .

Certain cotton varieties have been altered to produce the Bt toxin, which is used to target certain pests such as the dipterans, lepidopterans, and coleopterans. When insects consume these plant pieces, they ingest the poison, which impairs their digestive systems and can eventually kill them. "BT plants", or genetically modified plants developed to express the Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) toxin.
