Which of the following would NOT be a valid argument in favor of producing these genetically engineered soybean seeds?

Question

Soybean seeds can be genetically engineered to be resistant to several different herbicides.
Soybean plant biodiversity can decrease if only certain types of seeds are planted by farmers.
Hybrid soybean seeds can produce plants with a much higher crop yield than was previously possible.
More soybeans can be produced if farmers sow seeds that produce pest-resistant crops.

Answer 1

The argument that would NOT be valid in favor of producing genetically engineered soybean seeds is:

Soybean plant biodiversity can decrease if only certain types of seeds are planted by farmers.

This statement highlights a potential negative consequence of genetically engineered soybean seeds, pointing out a concern regarding biodiversity rather than supporting the production of such seeds. The other statements focus on the benefits of genetically engineered soybeans, such as herbicide resistance, increased crop yield, and pest resistance.
