One of the possible concerns about genetically modified foods is that they might kill organisms that we don't want to kill. Which statement is an example of this phenomenon?

Question

A) Bears eating genetically modified corn may be poisoned by the Bt gene introduced to the corn to act as a pesticide.

C) Genetically modified super-sized salmon have been known to kill the bald eagles that generally feed on them.
D) In the Irish Potato Famine, more than one million people died as a result of the lack of genetic diversity in the potato crop.
E) Thousands of people went into anaphylactic shock after consuming modified soybeans that contained a gene from Brazil nuts.
