Hybridized crops are created through natural cross-pollination; genetically modified crops are created by additions or deletions to DNA.
C
Genetically modified crops are created through natural cross-pollination; hybridized crops are created by additions or deletions to DNA.
D
These are two terms that mean the same thing; these plants are created through natural cross-pollination.

Explanation

Hybridization combines traits by crossing plants, often through natural cross-pollination. Genetic modification directly changes DNA by adding or deleting genetic material. Therefore, choice B correctly distinguishes the two processes; they are not the same thing.
