The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements provided is true, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Statement I:** - The statement claims: "Biowar is the use of biological weapons against humans and/or their crops and animals." - **Evaluation:** This definition is accurate. Biowar indeed refers to the use of biological agents (like bacteria, viruses, or toxins) as weapons in warfare against humans, crops, or animals. - **Conclusion:** Statement I is **true**. 2. **Analyzing Statement II:** - The statement claims: "Bioethics is the unauthorized use of bioresources and traditional knowledge related to bioresources for commercial benefits." - **Evaluation:** This definition is incorrect. Bioethics is actually the study of ethical issues arising from advances in biology and medicine, focusing on the moral implications and responsibilities related to biological research and applications. - **Conclusion:** Statement II is **false**. 3. **Analyzing Statement III:** - The statement claims: "Biopatent is exploitation of bioresources of other nations without proper authorization." - **Evaluation:** This definition is also incorrect. A biopatent refers to the legal rights granted to individuals or organizations over biological inventions or discoveries, typically protecting the rights of the originators. Exploitation without authorization contradicts the principles of biopatenting. - **Conclusion:** Statement III is **false**. ### Final Conclusion: Based on the evaluations: - Statement I is true. - Statements II and III are false. Thus, the correct answer is that only Statement I is true. Therefore, the answer is **Option 2: One only**. ---
