AIIMS 2018 Zoology Benefits of GM Plants Assertion Reason Question

Option B is correct because both the assertion that GM plants are more useful than normal plants and the reason that Golden rice is rich in β-carotene are true; however, the richness of β-carotene in Golden rice does not directly explain the overall utility of GM plants, which encompasses a broader range of benefits such as pest resistance and increased yield. Option A is incorrect because, while both statements are true, the reason does not adequately explain the assertion. Option C is incorrect as both statements are true, and option D is incorrect because both statements are indeed true.
