Which entities produce and sell commercial products?

• A. Hospitals
• B. Schools
• C. Farms
• D. Biotechnology companies

Answer: (D)

The main idea is turning scientific discovery into marketable products. Biotechnology companies take biological research from the lab, develop it into a tangible product, scale up manufacturing, navigate regulatory approvals, and then market and sell those products. This includes medicines, diagnostics, enzymes, and other biotech tools that are sold to healthcare providers, labs, farmers, or consumers. Hospitals and schools focus on delivering services rather than creating and selling goods, and farms primarily grow or raise agricultural products for sale rather than developing engineered products for broad markets. So the organization whose activities center on producing and selling commercial biotech items is a biotechnology company.
