- B vitamin \(A\)
- C vitamin \(B\)
- D vitamin \(C\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) vitamin \(A\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(b) : Golden rice is a transgenic variety of rice (Oryza sativa) which contains good quantities of \(\beta\)-carotene (provitamin \(A\) - inactive state of vitamin \(A\)). \(\beta\)-carotene is a principal source of vitamin \(A\). Since the grains of this rice is yellow in colour due to \(\beta\)-carotene and commonly called golden rice.
