The correct answer is: increase the nutrient quality of a food.  

Golden rice is genetically engineered new type of rice that contains beta-carotene (provitamin A), which is converted into vitamin A. It differs from its “original” strain by the addition of three beta-carotene genes. Thi rice is produced for the fight against vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and to be consumed in areas with a shortage of dietary vitamin.
