To solve this problem, we need to identify what triggers the activation of protoxin to active Bt toxin in Bacillus thuringiensis when it affects the boll worm.Let's analyze the options:Option 1: Body temperature - This is not the correct trigger for the activation of the Bt toxin.Option 2: Moist surface of midgut - While the midgut is involved, moisture alone does not activate the toxin.Option 3: Alkaline pH of gut - The alkaline pH in the gut of the boll worm is the correct trigger for the activation of the protoxin to the active Bt toxin.Option 4: Acidic pH of stomach - This is incorrect as the activation occurs in an alkaline environment, not acidic.The correct answer is Option 3: Alkaline pH of gut.This corresponds to the correct option, which is Option 3.
