Answer:

A. A greater percentage of Canadian agricultural acreage was unplanted than of Brazilian agriculture acreage.

Explanation:

The planted acre yield Brazil is 68% than of Canada. The agricultural acre yield in Brazil is 115% of Canada. The difference between agricultural yield and planted acre yield is that agricultural yield is all the available land which can be used to grow crops whereas planted yield is the actual acre land which is planted with crops. The planted acre is less than agricultural acre which results in more are being unplanted in Canada than of Brazilian agricultural acreage.
