Step-by-step solution
(A) Golden rice is a transgenic crop developed for nutritional enhancement, specifically enriched with Vitamin A. (B) Bt cotton is genetically modified for pest resistance using cry genes from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. (C) Transgenic tobacco plants are developed to be resistant to the nematode Meloidogyne incognita using the process of RNA interference (RNAi). (D) Rosie is the first transgenic cow, which produced human protein-enriched milk containing human -lactalbumin. Answer: (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)
