What dual risk can arise in livelihood due to excessive pesticide use?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Health harm and higher production cost

The direct answer is Option B: health harm and higher production cost. Excessive pesticide use creates two connected risks. Step 1: too much chemical exposure can affect farmers, workers, consumers, and nearby animals through skin contact, breathing, contaminated water, or food residues. Step 2: repeated or unnecessary spraying costs more money for chemicals, labour, equipment, and protective measures. Step 3: pests may develop resistance, so still more or stronger chemicals may be needed. Step 4: soil organisms, pollinators, and other useful organisms may be harmed, threatening long-term productivity. Option B is correct because it identifies both the health and economic sides of the risk. Option A is wrong because pesticides do not increase the physical size of a farm. Option C is unrelated; chemicals cannot make weather forecasts accurate. Option D is too absolute and unsupported: livestock value does not always fall because of pesticide use. A safer approach is integrated pest management, using monitoring, prevention, biological methods, and chemicals only when necessary. Memory cue: excess pesticide means health cost plus money cost.
