The correct Answer is:
To determine where Bt cotton farming has shown good results, we can analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding Bt Cotton**: Bt cotton is a genetically modified organism (GMO) that has been engineered to express a protein from the bacterium *Bacillus thuringiensis* (Bt). This protein acts as an insecticide, targeting specific pests that affect cotton crops. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option a: Malwa (Punjab)**: This region is known for its agricultural productivity, particularly in cotton farming. Studies and reports indicate that Bt cotton has been successful in this area. - **Option b: Katihar (Bihar)**: While Bihar is an agricultural state, it is not particularly known for cotton farming, and there are limited reports on the success of Bt cotton here. - **Option c: Kolkata (West Bengal)**: Kolkata is primarily an urban area and not a significant cotton-producing region. Therefore, the results of Bt cotton farming would not be relevant here. - **Option d: Shimla**: Shimla is located in Himachal Pradesh, which is not a major cotton-growing area. The climatic conditions are not suitable for cotton farming, making it unlikely for Bt cotton to show good results here. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the region where Bt cotton farming has shown good results is **Malwa (Punjab)**. **Final Answer**: a) Malwa (Punjab) ---
