<< previous question next question >>

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Red biotechnology is related to medical applications (e.g., drug development).
• White biotechnology (also called industrial biotechnology) uses biological processes for industrial and chemical production (like enzymes for manufacturing, biofuels, etc.).
• Green biotechnology focuses on agricultural applications (e.g., genetically modified crops).
• Blue biotechnology is related to marine and aquatic applications.

Since the question asks about using biological processes in chemical and industrial production, white biotechnology (Option B) is the correct answer.

Answer:

B. White biotechnology
