Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Genetically modified plants are designed to:

• Increase crop yield (through high-yield varieties),

• Reduce post-harvest losses (e.g., delayed ripening, pest resistance),

• Make crops more tolerant to stresses (drought, salinity, pests, diseases).

All three benefits are achieved with GM crops.
