Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Genetically modified crops are mentioned as a possible solution to reduce the use of fertilizers and chemicals, while Basmati rice's patenting does not imply its commercial success. The pomato hybrid did not achieve desired characteristics for commercial use, and tissue culture was developed due to the limitations of traditional breeding.
