B. They use complicated machines to produce food products

C. They use chemicals as flavorings and preservatives

D. They study the effects of different foods on the body

I think it is A

Explanation:

A.They study how to make plants produce certain chemicals

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).
