Answer:B

Explanation:I think it is a reasonable request to ask the farmer to use compost because it will be a long and costly purpose to move people and it is uncalled for that people can be moved for just one person, the majority rule.

The farmer can be resistant when he is asked to completely stop using fertilizers but can be requested to atleast use alternatives.
