Answer Statement Conclusion
Most Appropriate I will consult reliable expert or get authentic information using internet to find out availability of safe insecticides, even if they are costly.  As we all know fake news or misinformation prevails everywhere so it is best to adopt a scientific approach while taking any decision option 3 looks most appropriate here.
Appropriate I will stop using these chemical insecticides as they are life threatening and use other remedies for saving my produce from insects without bothering about the yield.  If all the rumors are true that chemical insecticides are really life-threatening then such kinds of insecticides should be stopped to use. therefore this option look appropriate.
Less considerable I will provide all quality safety equipment to my labourers and train them to handle and spray insecticides with the necessary care.  Such kind of step looks appropriate but here the scientific approach missing and we act as per the prevailing rumors, and such a step looks hypothetical therefore this option looks less considerable.
 Inappropriate I will have to wait for further research and till then I will continue to use insecticides that I am using now for to keep my crops safe from the insects. here use of the insecticide step looks inappropriate.

Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answers to this item should be based on the passage only. Many farmers use synthetic pesticides to kill infesting insects. The consumption of pesticides in some of the developed countries is touching 3000 grams/hectare. Unfortunately, there are reports that these compounds possess inherent toxicities that endanger the health of the farm operators, consumers and the environment. Synthetic pesticides are generally persistent in environment. Entering in food chain they destroy the microbial diversity and cause ecological imbalance. Their indiscriminate use has resulted in development of resistance among insects to insecticides, upsetting of balance in nature and resources of treated populations. Natural pest control using the botanical pesticides is safer to the user and the environment because they break down into harmless compounds within hours or days in the presence of sunlight. Plants with pesticidal properties have been in nature for millions of years without any ill or adverse effects on the ecosystem. They are easily decomposed by many microbes common in most soils. They help in the maintenance of biological diversity of predators and human health hazards. Botanical pesticides formulated from plants are biodegradable and their use in crop protection is a practical sustainable alternative. Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding biopesticides? 1. They are not hazardous to human health. 2. They are persistent in environment. 3.
