Correct Answer
A. Genetic engineering

Explanation
Genetic engineering is the process of inserting new genes into a cell in order to change the characteristics of an organism. This can be done by manipulating the DNA of the organism, either by adding or removing specific genes. Through genetic engineering, scientists can create organisms with desired traits, such as increased resistance to diseases or improved crop yields. This field of study has numerous applications in agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology.

Correct Answer
A. Fertilizer

Explanation
Fertilizer is a chemical compound that is used to replenish the nutrients in soil. It provides essential elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are necessary for plant growth and development. By adding fertilizer to the soil, farmers and gardeners can ensure that plants have access to the nutrients they need to thrive. Fertilizers come in various forms, including organic and synthetic options, and are applied to the soil either before or during the planting process.

Correct Answer
A. Controlled environment agriculture

Explanation
Controlled environment agriculture refers to the practice of growing plants in an environment that is carefully controlled and optimized for their growth. This includes controlling factors such as temperature, humidity, light, and nutrient levels. By creating the perfect growing environment, plants are able to thrive and reach their full potential. This method allows for year-round cultivation, protection from pests and diseases, and higher crop yields.

- E.
  
  S
Correct Answer
A. Hydroponics

Explanation
Hydroponics is the process of growing plants without using soil. Instead, plants are grown in a water-based nutrient solution that provides all the necessary elements for their growth. This method allows for precise control over the plant's environment, including the nutrient levels, pH, and water supply. By eliminating the need for soil, hydroponics offers several advantages such as increased growth rates, higher yields, and the ability to grow plants in areas with limited access to fertile land.
