Q1With reference to genetically modified crops in India, consider the following statements: 1. Bt cotton, first approved for commercial cultivation in 2002, remains India's only GM crop approved for commercial cultivation. 2. GEAC recommended commercial release of Bt brinjal in 2009, but a moratorium was announced in 2010. 3. The Supreme Court gave a unanimous verdict approving commercial cultivation of GM mustard DMH-11 in 2024. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Bt cotton is the only GM crop approved for commercial cultivation in India, while Bt brinjal remained under a moratorium after the 2009 recommendation. Statement 3 is incorrect because the 2024 GM mustard verdict was split, not unanimous, and commercial cultivation was not finally settled.
