The correct Answer is:
To find out who is the father of biotechnology in India, we can analyze the given options one by one: 1. **Option A: Prof. V.L. Chopra** - He is recognized as the father of agricultural biotechnology in India. His contributions to the field of biotechnology, particularly in agriculture, have been significant. 2. **Option B: Dr. Lalji Singh** - He is known as the father of DNA fingerprinting in India. His work has been pivotal in the field of genetics and forensic science, but it does not pertain directly to biotechnology as a whole. 3. **Option C: E.J. Butler** - E.J. Butler is recognized as the father of plant pathology. His work has been influential in understanding plant diseases, but he is not specifically associated with biotechnology. 4. **Option D: S.C. Maheshwari** - He is known as the father of plant embryology. His contributions are important in the study of plant development, but again, this does not encompass the broader field of biotechnology. After evaluating all the options, we conclude that **Prof. V.L. Chopra** is the correct answer as he is recognized as the father of biotechnology in India, particularly in the agricultural sector. **Final Answer: (A) Prof. V.L. Chopra**
