The option that describes a way in which biotechnology could have caused the difference between the two tomatoes is:
**B. The plant on the left is the result of the selective breeding of plants with large fruit.**
Selective breeding is a form of biotechnology that involves choosing specific plants with desired traits to produce the next generation, which could result in larger tomatoes. The other options relate to environmental factors rather than biotechnological methods.
