The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Acronym GEAC**: GEAC stands for Genetic Engineering Approval Committee. It is a regulatory body established by the government. 2. **Identify the Functions of GEAC**: The primary functions of GEAC include: - Evaluating the validity of research related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). - Assessing the safety of introducing GM organisms into public services. 3. **Consider Other Potential Functions**: While the question mentions the validity of bio patents, it is essential to focus on the core responsibilities of GEAC, which primarily revolve around GMOs. 4. **Determine the Correct Options**: Based on the functions identified, we can conclude that: - The validity of GM research is a correct option. - The safety of introducing GM organisms for public services is also a correct option. - The validity of bio patents may not be directly under GEAC's purview. 5. **Conclude the Answer**: Since more than one option is correct regarding the functions of GEAC, the answer would be option D, indicating that multiple options are correct. **Final Answer**: GEAC makes decisions regarding the validity of GM research and the safety of introducing GM organisms for public services. Therefore, option D is correct. ---
