Answer: Option E- Reduced Biodiversity

Step-by-step explanation:

The main issues of agribusiness are build-up of salt in soils, over irrigation, over fertilization and pollution in groundwater, biocide use caused by monoculture and loss of biodiversity are major issues.

The main categories of water consumer are houses, Agriculture and industry. If use excessive water is used by farmers for irrigating the plants during summer days, the build-up of salt occurs in soil.

If any type of biocide like pesticide, herbicide, fungicide, etc. Pollutes the soil, groundwater resources and surface water bodies are subjected to pollution. The application to agricultural fields of excessive nitrogen and phosphorus results in eutrophication of surface water.
