Hint: Golden Rice is a new kind of rice containing beta carotene. Flavr Savr, a genetically engineered tomato. hGH generated by mammary gland comigrated with hGH of human source. Transgenic animals are designed specifically to explore the role of genes in the evolution of specific diseases. 
Complete Step-by-step answer:
Golden rice is a genetically engineered, biofortified crop. Biofortification enhances the nutritional quality of crops. Golden rice is genetically engineered to generate beta-carotene, which is not usually present in rice. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A once metabolised by the human body.
Flavr Savr was the first commercially cultivated genetically modified food to be granted a license for human nutrition. Flavr Savr tomato is more resilient to rotting. Flavr Savr failed because it made a minimal effect on shelf life/fruit softening, and the transgene was put into a few very poor germplasms.
hGH was bioactive, and through its prolactin-like activity stimulated lactogenesis once introduced into mammary culture media. hGH-B is capable to stimulate growth in mice. The variations in amino acid sequence among the hGH-A and hGH-B lead to considerable differences in tertiary and quaternary structure.
Pigs offered benefits over primates for organ procurement — they are easy to grow, achieve maturation faster, and reach adult human size within six months. Pig heart valves are commonly transplanted into people, and some diabetes patients have received pig pancreatic cells.
Column-IColumn-II
A.Golden riceIII.Vitamin A
B.Flavr SavrI.Increased shelf life
C.MouseII.hGH
D.Transgenic pigIV.Organ transplantation

Therefore the correct answer is Option A.
Note: Golden Rice was developed by German plant researchers Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer in the late 1990s to fight against vitamin A shortage, the most common cause of childhood blindness. In the 1980s Flavr Savr was developed by the Californian company Calgene. hGH mRNA was only found in the mammary gland during lactation. Pig hearts are remarkably the same in size, and anatomy and they work as human hearts, so are used to educate medical students.
