What does GMO stand for?

• A. Genetically Modified Organisms
• B. Genomic Modified Organisms
• C. Genetic Modified Organisms
• D. Green Modified Organisms

Answer: (A)

Genetically Modified Organisms are living beings whose genes have been deliberately altered using biotechnological methods. The phrase breaks down into three parts: “Genetically” signals changes to genes, “Modified” means altered, and “Organisms” covers any living being used in science or agriculture. This combination is the standard way scientists and regulators refer to organisms created through genetic engineering, distinguishing them from those altered by traditional breeding.

The other terms don’t fit because they either change the meaning of the modification or introduce a separate idea. “Genomic” would emphasize the entire genome rather than specific gene changes, which isn’t how the term is used. “Genetic” is close but not the conventional adverb form in this context. “Green” has no relation to genetic modification and would be about color, not technology.
