Answer:B. Transgenic organisms can be used to improve agricultural products and to create medicines.

Explanation:

Transgenic organisms are those organisms that are produced by genetic engineering procedures. This involves the alteration of the genome of the organism by insertion of the foreign genome so as to introduce traits of the foreign animal or plant in the host organism.

This process have been used to produce transgenic crops which are disease resistant, high yielding and of good quality. This methodology have also been used to obtain medicines, drugs and vaccination from the plants and animals.
