CRISPR technology can be used to edit the genomes of a wide variety of organisms, including:

1. **Plants**: CRISPR has been used to enhance crop traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and nutritional content.

2. **Animals**: The technology can be applied to various animal species, including mice, pigs, and livestock, for purposes such as improving health, enhancing growth rates, or eliminating specific diseases.

3. **Humans**: CRISPR has potential applications in gene therapy for treating genetic disorders, although ethical and regulatory considerations are significant in this area.

So, the correct answer is that CRISPR can potentially change any plants, animals, or humans, regardless of gender, not just females.
