Correct Answer: to make it pest-resistant


Solution : The correct option is to make it pest-resistant.

BT brinjal is a variety of brinjal that has been genetically modified to express a protein derived from the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis (BT). This protein functions as a natural pesticide, protecting the plant from pest attacks. BT brinjal was created to lessen the need for chemical pesticides, increase agricultural output, and reduce insect, and pest damage.
