Question

Why do humans need more potent pesticides over time?

A) because the target population soon develops a resistance to the chemical
B) because pesticide salesman need to make more money
C) because plants begin to eat the pesticides
D) because the explosive growth of the human population places increased demands on current farmers

Answer 1

A. Because the target population soon develops a resistance to the chemical

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this is the correct answer here because it would be similar to how humans develop tolerance for medicine and illicit drugs; over time, we would need more and more of the drug to achieve the same result. It is also logical. B and C are definitely not correct nor are they logical, and D is not logical either; human population growth does not influence current farmers that much, and even if it did, humans would not need a higher quality of pesticide, just a higher quantity.
