Question

a concern about gmos is that they may cause alterations to human genetics. another concern is the effect that gmos potentially have on biodiversity, by introducing genetically altered organisms that may run rampant on an ecological landscape. because of these concerns, many people want regulation and identification regarding gmos in food to inform consumers.
which is a benefit of gmos?

• they are accepted universally.
• they have reduced pesticide use.
• they are entirely safe.

Explanation:

• Option A: The passage mentions concerns about GMOs, so they are not universally accepted.
• Option B: A known benefit of GMOs (e.g., genetically modified crops with pest resistance) is reduced pesticide use, which aligns with agricultural benefits of GMOs.
• Option C: The passage lists concerns about GMOs (genetic alterations, biodiversity impact), so they are not "entirely safe."

Answer:

B. They have reduced pesticide use.
