The correct answer is option 3, UK. Scientists in the UK recently created genetically modified chickens that lay eggs capable of producing drugs to fight cancer and other life-threatening diseases. This breakthrough could potentially provide a cost-effective method of producing these drugs on a larger scale.

Option 1, France, is incorrect because the development of genetically modified chickens to lay eggs with medicinal properties did not occur in France.

Option 2, Germany, is incorrect because this scientific achievement did not take place in Germany.

Option 4, USA, is incorrect because while the USA is renowned for its advancements in genetic engineering and biotechnology, the creation of genetically modified chickens for drug production did not occur there either.
