1 answer

The option that is NOT a benefit of plant biotechnology is:

b. transferring herbicide resistance to weeds

This option describes a negative outcome rather than a benefit, as it refers to the transfer of resistance to non-target organisms (weeds) rather than improving crops or proving beneficial to agriculture.
