A — To create crops that are resistant to pests.
Gene editing (e.g., CRISPR) can add or modify genes to give crops pest or disease resistance, reducing yield loss and the need for chemical pesticides. Options B and C are incorrect or less relevant: crops can't be made immortal, and while appearance can be altered, pest resistance is a primary benefit.
