故选C。

故选B。

欧盟委员会近日宣布,将在近期就克隆食品提出一项立法建议,建议欧盟在今后5年暂停用于食品生产的动物克隆,但是克隆动物通过传统方式繁殖的后代用于食品生产和销售不在禁止之列,因为这些产品的源头无法追踪。

C.controversialD.meaningless
文章首先介绍了该禁令的内容意义及产生的背景,后文有介绍了对该禁令的异议“ButanimalwelfaregroupscriticizedtheCommission’sdecision...WedonotaccepttheCommission’spositionthat...”,由此可以推断,人们对于这一禁令是有争议的(controversial)。
