The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the regulatory body working under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF) for the release of transgenic crops, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ministry**: The question mentions the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, abbreviated as MoEF. This ministry is responsible for environmental protection and the regulation of biodiversity in India. 2. **Understand the Context**: The question specifically asks for a regulatory body that oversees the release of transgenic crops. Transgenic crops are genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that require regulation to ensure safety for the environment and human health. 3. **Recall Relevant Regulatory Bodies**: Within the context of MoEF, there are several organizations, but we need to focus on those that deal specifically with genetic engineering and biotechnology. 4. **Identify the Correct Body**: The relevant regulatory body under MoEF is the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC). This committee is responsible for evaluating and approving the release of transgenic crops and ensuring that their use does not pose any risk to the environment or public health. 5. **Eliminate Incorrect Options**: - **NBPGR** (National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources) is involved in the conservation of plant genetic resources but does not regulate transgenic crops. - **NSC** (National Seed Corporation) deals with seed production and supply but is not a regulatory body. - **NIPGR** (National Institute of Plant Genome Research) focuses on research and development in plant genomics but does not have regulatory authority. 6. **Conclude the Answer**: Based on the above analysis, the correct answer to the question is the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC). ### Final Answer: The regulatory body working under MoEF for the release of transgenic crops is the **Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC)**. ---
