Question

1. what reason for concern about population growth is related to gmos?

agriculture

congestion

pollution

famine

Explanation:

Identify the core relationship

Using the Population Growth Rate knowledge point

The question asks for a concern about population growth that is directly related to Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). GMOs are primarily developed and utilized to increase crop yields, resist pests, and tolerate harsh environmental conditions to feed a rapidly growing global population.

Connect GMOs to the options

Using the Food Security knowledge point

• agriculture: This is a broad sector, not a specific "reason for concern" about population growth.
• congestion: This relates to urban density and traffic, which is unrelated to GMOs.
• pollution: While agricultural runoff causes pollution, it is not the primary population concern driving GMO adoption.
• famine: Rapid population growth threatens food security, leading to potential widespread starvation or famine. GMOs are engineered specifically as a technological solution to prevent famine by boosting food production.

Determine the correct choice

The most direct concern about population growth that GMOs aim to address is the threat of famine. Therefore, "famine" is the correct option.

Answer:

• (A) agriculture
• (B) congestion
• (C) pollution
• (D) famine (Correct answer)
