Which impact of genetic technology is considered negative?

Answer
A
increased food production
B
lowered cost of food production
C
decreased variation within a species
D
increased nutritional value of crops

Explanation

Genetic technology can make crops more productive, less expensive to grow, or more nutritious, which are generally considered benefits. However, using the same selected varieties widely can reduce genetic variation within a species, making populations more vulnerable to disease or environmental change. Therefore, decreased variation within a species is the negative impact.
