C Correct answer
Explanation

Biofortification is the process of breeding crops to increase their nutritional value - specifically higher levels of minerals (iron, zinc), vitamins (vitamin A), proteins, or healthier fats. Micropropagation is rapid vegetative propagation. Somatic hybridization combines genomes of two species. Biomagnification refers to increasing toxin concentration up food chains - unrelated to breeding.
