Hey Zoe Zoe,
This is a must be true question, so we are looking for an answer choice which is explicitly supported by the passage. Answer choice (C) is incorrect for the exact reason you cited – you assumed that the altered bacteria were also more effective, despite the passage not saying that. It’s also important to note that the proponents of this use of altered bacteria were not comparing its effectiveness or safety compared to Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria. They argue that altering the harmful bacterial phytopathogens could work similarly to Pseudomonas fluorescents, but there are no explicit comparisons of the safety or effectiveness of the two methods.
