Answer 3

The option that is NOT a reason genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are considered efficient is:

**Increasing nutrient intake**

While GMOs can be designed to improve traits related to resistance and yields, the concept of increasing nutrient intake primarily relates to dietary habits and agricultural practices rather than a direct characteristic of GMOs themselves.

Answer 4

Answer 5

The option that was NOT discussed as a method to replenish and sustain arable land is:
