The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement one by one to determine which ones are correct regarding biofortified crops. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement (A)**: "Atlas-66 is a biofortified variety of wheat." - Atlas-66 is indeed a recognized biofortified variety of wheat that has been used to enhance the nutritional value of cultivated wheat, particularly in protein content. - **Conclusion**: Statement (A) is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate Statement (B)**: "Iron-rich rice is also a biofortified variety of rice." - Iron-rich rice is a variety that has been developed to increase the iron content in rice, making it a biofortified crop aimed at combating iron deficiency. - **Conclusion**: Statement (B) is **correct**. 3. **Evaluate Statement (C)**: "In 2000, maize hybrid that had twice the amount of amino acid, tryptophan and tyrosine." - This statement is incorrect because the maize hybrid developed in 2000 was known for having increased levels of lysine and tryptophan, not tyrosine. - **Conclusion**: Statement (C) is **incorrect**. 4. **Evaluate Statement (D)**: "Vitamin C enriched biofortified crops are pumpkin, carrot, tomato." - While tomato is indeed a vitamin C enriched biofortified crop, pumpkin and carrot are primarily known for being rich in vitamin A, not vitamin C. - **Conclusion**: Statement (D) is **incorrect**. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are **(A) and (B)**.
