GPT-4o mini · Answer

The best choice to complete the text with the most logical transition is (Choice B) "Additionally,"

The sentence would read: "Additionally, they are concerned about the environmental risks associated with GM crops, including their potential to disrupt natural ecosystems by displacing or cross-pollinating with wild plants."

This choice logically continues the thought by adding another reason for the caution around GM crops, complementing the concern about long-term health effects with environmental risks.
