The correct option is B.
The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is an international treaty that governs the movements of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology from one country to another. It was negotiated under the aegis of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), adopted in 2000, and entered into force in 2003.
The Protocol seeks to protect biodiversity from the potential risks posed by LMOs. It establishes procedures for regulating the transboundary movement of LMOs, particularly those destined for intentional introduction into the environment. India is a party to both the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety.
