The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Biopiracy does not:", we need to analyze each option provided and determine which statement does not accurately describe biopiracy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Biopiracy**: Biopiracy refers to the unauthorized and unethical appropriation of biological resources and traditional knowledge, particularly from developing countries, by individuals or corporations from developed nations. This often involves exploiting these resources without providing fair compensation or benefits to the indigenous communities. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - **Statement**: "It involved illegally acquiring traditional knowledge." - **Evaluation**: This statement is true as biopiracy often includes the illegal acquisition of traditional knowledge from indigenous communities. - **Conclusion**: This option describes biopiracy. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - **Statement**: "Involves use of biological agent against economic rivals." - **Evaluation**: This statement does not accurately describe biopiracy. Biopiracy is not about using biological agents as weapons against rivals; it is about the exploitation of biological resources for economic gain. - **Conclusion**: This option does not describe biopiracy. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - **Statement**: "Aim at modifying plant without a legal right." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also true as biopiracy can involve the modification of plants or organisms without obtaining the necessary legal rights or permissions. - **Conclusion**: This option describes biopiracy. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - **Statement**: "Include terrorizing rival nations with the help of biological resources." - **Evaluation**: This statement is misleading. While biopiracy involves exploitation, it does not typically include the act of terrorizing nations. This concept is more aligned with biowarfare rather than biopiracy. - **Conclusion**: This option does not describe biopiracy. ### Final Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question "Biopiracy does not:" is **Option B**: "involves use of biological agent against economic rivals" and **Option D**: "include terrorizing rival nations with the help of biological resources."
