Answer

Correct option: A.

generated by introducing foreign $DNA$ into a cell and regenerating a plant from that cell

a
(a) : The plants produced through genetic engineering contain gene or genes usually from an unrelated organism. Such genes are called transgenes and the plants having transgenes are called transgenic plants. Recombinant $DNA$ techniques are being used to improve crop plants by increasing their productivity, by making them more nutritious, and by developing disease resistance. Transgenic plants have a natural resistance to herbicides and pests. In the future, plants may have an ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and an increased ability to grow in arid and salty soils.
