Question 8 • GA-GSE World Geography B

Which of the following is not an advantage of genetically modified (GM) foods?

Answer
A
They are sometimes more flavorful than non-GM foods.
B
They can be more resistant to pests than non-GM foods.
C
They can have a longer shelf life than non-GM foods.
D
They can be more expensive than non-GM foods.

Explanation

An advantage is a beneficial feature, such as improved flavor, greater resistance to pests, or a longer shelf life. Being more expensive is a disadvantage because it increases the cost to consumers, not a benefit of GM foods. Therefore, the best answer is D, “They can be more expensive than non-GM foods.”
