The correct answer is option 3: Cotton.
BT seed refers to genetically modified cotton seeds that have been engineered to produce the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin. This toxin is poisonous to certain pests, such as bollworms, which can damage cotton crops. By planting Bt cotton seeds, farmers can reduce the need for chemical insecticides and increase crop yield.
Option 1: Rice is incorrect because Bt technology is not commonly used in rice cultivation.
Option 2: Wheat is incorrect because Bt technology is not commonly used in wheat cultivation.
Option 4: Oilseeds is incorrect because Bt technology is primarily used in cotton cultivation, not in oilseed crops.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: Cotton.
