Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetically modified crops have been produced mainly to benefit farmers. They are engineered to have traits that make them resistant to pests, diseases, and harsh environmental conditions, resulting in higher crop yields and lower crop loss for farmers.

Option A, benefiting consumers, is not the primary objective of genetically modified crops, although it is a potential benefit as they may lead to lower food prices due to increased supply.

Option C, benefiting the scientific community, is not the intended purpose of genetically modified crops, although they do provide scientists with new tools to study gene expression and crop technology.

Option D, benefiting the US's ability to export agricultural products, is not the primary purpose of genetically modified crops. However, it may lead to an increase in US agricultural exports as they become more competitive in the global market.
