Explanation:

• Breeding dogs for traits is selective breeding, not genetic modification (GM) as it uses natural breeding.
• Inserting a gene from another organism into crops to make them pesticide - resistant is genetic modification (GM) as it involves directly altering the genetic material by adding a foreign gene.
• Raising animals via animal husbandry is traditional farming, not GM.
• Selecting and planting specific fruit is artificial selection, not GM.
