Explanation:

There is an example in the passage (protato) of a GM product supported by the government which has not been sufficiently highlighted by the Indian media. Therefore, we can do away with option 4.
Option 3 is not supported by the information in the passage. No such case of media-government partnership has been depicted. Consequently, option 3 can be ruled out.
Since, the media has not highlighted news about GM research or controversies; we cannot deduce that Indian media’s coverage is dependent on MNCs’ interests (option 2 eliminated). Furthermore,   in the third paragraph, the author states: “It is quite likely that the GM controversy will soon hit the headlines in India since a spokesperson of the Indian Central government has recently announced that the government may use the protato in its midday meal programme for schools as early as next year.” That suggests that when a mass application of a scientific product is likely, then the media in interested in highlighting that product.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
