Which letter is correct
A. Genetic engineering is preferred because a desired gene to crops may not exist in their species, so conventional agriculture could not be applied.
B. Conventional agriculture is preferred because they're natural, and don't have interference in their genome, so they're healthier.
C. Genetic engineering is preferred because through it, we can create new species of plants resistant to pests.
D. Conventional agriculture is preferred because they produce more crop compared to genetic modifications.

A.
The DNA probe used to locate a particular gene in the genome.

C.
The laboratory apparatus used to clone genes.
D.
