Solution

Golden rice

Explanation:

Golden rice is a genetically engineered crop enriched with beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, to address vitamin A deficiency. It is developed by inserting specific genes related to nutrient biosynthesis into rice, enhancing its nutritional value. Glucose, wheat, and maize are not products of genetic engineering in this context. Thus, golden rice is the example obtained from genetic engineering.
