People living in some countries have a difficult time obtaining foods that are high in vitamin A.

Answer
A
higher tolerance of crops to temperature changes
B
decreased crop resistance to disease
C
lowered cost of food production
D
increased nutritional value of crops

Explanation

Biofortification can increase the amount of vitamin A in commonly eaten crops, making those foods more nutritious for people who have difficulty obtaining vitamin A-rich foods. Therefore, the benefit is increased nutritional value of crops, not a change in temperature tolerance, disease resistance, or production cost.
