Which statement is CORRECT regarding genetically engineered foods?

GM foods are inherently less nutritious than conventional foods because genetic modification disrupts natural nutrient profiles.

GM crops can be engineered for higher yields and pest resistance, offering potential to alleviate food insecurity.

Pre‑market assessments can reliably predict and eliminate any risk of allergenicity in GM foods.

GM crops always increase pesticide use because they promote herbicide‑resistant weeds and require more chemical applications.
