Rice, a versatile and inexpensive carbohydrate source, is a critical dietary component worldwide. Climate change and extreme weather threaten its sustained availability. Scientists are developing Green Super Rice (GSR), resilient under extreme weather and capable of higher sustainable yields. Which inference follows?
GSR is an alternative to regular rice, but grows only in extreme weather.
GSR may be used in future in response to adverse effects of climate change.
GSR grows in extreme weather, but produces less than regular rice.
Regular rice will continue to give good yields even in extreme weather.
Correct answer: (B) GSR may be used in future in response to adverse effects of climate change.
Explanation
The research responds to climate-related threats by developing resilient, productive rice. This supports future use of GSR against adverse climate effects, **B**. The passage does not restrict GSR to extreme weather; C contradicts higher yields and D ignores the stated threat.
