A chemical company produced a genetically engineered potato called the New Leaf Superior. This plant produces a chemical that repels insects that might eat the plant. The offspring of the plant will also produce the chemical. What is the most likely, possible, disadvantage of growing this type of potato?

a
Significantly decreased harvest production of the potatoes.
b
Increased bioluminescence/attraction to fireflies.
