Which is an example of weather risk in agriculture?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Drought or excessive rainfall

The direct answer is A: drought or excessive rainfall is a weather risk in agriculture. Weather risk means the possibility that unsuitable natural conditions will damage crops or reduce yield. Follow the chain: crops need water within a suitable range; drought gives too little water, while excessive rain can waterlog soil, cause erosion, spread disease or damage plants; either condition may cause crop loss. Option A is correct because both drought and excessive rainfall are weather events that can harm farming. Option B is wrong because proper storage is a protective management practice that reduces loss, not a weather risk. Option C is wrong because timely market information helps a farmer make better selling decisions; it is not harmful weather. Option D is wrong because good soil testing is a useful planning and soil-management practice, not a weather danger. Weather risk can also include storms, floods, hail or unseasonal temperature, but the given pair is fully sufficient. Memory cue: weather risk means “nature may disturb the crop”; too little or too much rain are classic examples.
