Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of biotechnology: Biotechnology involves using living organisms or systems to develop or make products, often involving genetic manipulation.
Identify the processes listed in the options: Distillation of crude oil, Cracking of hydrocarbons, Synthesis of aspirin, and Genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Analyze each option: Distillation and cracking are physical and chemical processes used in refining petroleum, while synthesis of aspirin is a chemical synthesis process.
Consider the role of GMOs: Genetically modified organisms are created through biotechnology by altering the genetic material of organisms to achieve desired traits.
Conclude that GMOs are the only option that directly involves biotechnology, as they require genetic engineering, a key aspect of biotechnology in organic chemistry.
