Options:
A .  Autodigestion leading to death
B .  Cry protein will induce stomach cancer
C .  Cry protein will be excreted or broken down in the body
D .  B. thuringiensis infection
Answer: Option C

Humans and other higher order animals do not have specific cellular receptors for cry protein as seen in bollworms. Therefore, when we ingest Bt products like Bt corn or Bt rice, the toxins go through us unhindered and are excreted or broken down in our bodies.
