The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Genetic Modification**: Genetic modification involves altering the DNA of an organism to achieve desired traits that do not occur naturally. This process creates genetically modified organisms (GMOs). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Pesticide Resistant Plant Pest**: This refers to plants that have been genetically modified to resist certain pesticides. This is a common application of genetic modification. - **Option 2: Crop Tolerant to Abiotic Stresses**: While there are genetically modified crops that can tolerate abiotic stresses (like drought or salinity), this option is not specifically about the production of organisms. - **Option 3: Plants that Ensure Exhaustion of Fertility of Soil**: This statement is incorrect as genetic modification does not aim to exhaust soil fertility. - **Option 4: Herbicide Resistance Weeds**: This refers to weeds that have developed resistance to herbicides, but they are not a product of genetic modification in the same context as the other options. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: After analyzing the options, the correct answer is **Option 1: Pesticide Resistant Plant Pest**. Genetic modification has indeed led to the development of plants that are resistant to pesticides, making them beneficial for agricultural practices. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the production of pesticide-resistant plant pests is a significant outcome of genetic modification in organisms. ---
