The genetically modified ‘golden rice’ is enriched with:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Vitamin A

Genetically modified (GM) crops are plants whose genes have been changed. One of their uses is to raise the nutritional value of food. Golden rice is the example: it is rice enriched with vitamin A. It gets its name from its golden-yellow colour, which comes from the pro-vitamin A (beta-carotene) made in its grains.
