Explicación
## Step 1The problem presents a scenario where a research program is being launched to produce genetically modified varieties of a food crop. The aim of this program is to create varieties with fruit that ripen quicker. The question asks us to identify the best argument against such research.## Step 2We need to evaluate each option based on its potential negative impact on human health or the environment. ## Step 3Option A suggests that new unknown proteins may be produced by the modified plants. This could potentially lead to unforeseen health issues, making it a strong argument against the research.## Step 4Option B suggests that the fruit from the modified crop might have a different taste. This is not a strong argument against the research as it does not directly impact human health or the environment.## Step 5Option C suggests that the modified crop will reduce the sales of chemical fertilizers. This is not a strong argument against the research as it does not directly impact human health or the environment.## Step 6Option D suggests that similar research programs in the past have led to harmful effects. This is a strong argument against the research as it implies that the research could lead to harmful effects.
