Some of the characteristics of cotton are:

  1. A
    High yield and resistance to bollworms
  2. B
    Long fibre and resistance to aphids
  3. C
    Medium yield, long fibre and resistance to beetle pests
  4. D
    High yield and production of toxic protein crystals which kill dipteran pests

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

cotton is a transgenic variety engineered to produce toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis. Its primary commercial advantage is resistance to bollworms (pests that destroy cotton crops), which results in a higher effective yield.
