    RNA interference (RNAi) technology is being explored for developing pest-resistant plants. Which statement about RNAi is INCORRECT?

    A

    The RNAi effect can be highly specific to the target pest.

    B

    The introduced dsRNA is processed into smaller interfering RNAs (siRNAs).

    C

    RNAi primarily works by blocking translation of target mRNA.

    D

    The RNAi trait is easily inherited through traditional plant breeding methods.
