We can confirm that the absence of photosynthesis on Earth would cause a mass extinction of most of the species on the planet.
<h3 /><h3>Why would the absence of photosynthesis be so harmful?</h3>
The process of photosynthesis is extremely important as it produces oxygen as a byproduct. The absence of this process on Earth would limit the available oxygen in the atmosphere which would at some point be entirely consumed. From then on, most species on the planet would die out as they require oxygen to live. Most plant species would also die off as they use photosynthesis to sustain life.
Therefore, we can confirm that the absence of photosynthesis on planet Earth could be considered an apocalyptic event as it would cause a near-complete extinction of life on the planet.

DDT stands for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane. The first kind of synthetic/artificial insecticides came into use in the 1940s. The earlier usage of DDT include: a) Killing of malarial vectors, b) Combatting Typhus and other insect borne human diseases, c) As a pest control in crops d) as a pest control in garden, live stock production and even at homes.
The negative impact of DDT could be felt for the first time when the pests that were earlier killed by use of DDT have now become pesticides resistant. In the 1950s in USA, the regulatory measures were adopted to reduce the usage of DDTs as its effects as a pesticides were no more long significant and also it was creating detrimental physical and psychological impacts on the human and environment.
It was in 1972 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the order for banning the usage of DDT based on the adverse impact it produced on the environment, human and other life forms. Since then continuous studies are being conducted to analyse the impact of DDTs. In some later years it was established that DDT is the cause of producing tumors in liver.
Some of the common negative impacts produced by DDT as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture :
a) The non destructive nature – DDT can not be destroyed and thus it remains persistent in the atmosphere
b) It attacks the tissues of living organisms especially the animals and humans ( fatty tissue)
c) It can penetrate the atmosphere to deeper extent.
Now as per the current stuation, The use of DDT is controlled and other alternatives of pest control organisms is being deduced. As per the treaty of Stockholm Convention on POPs (Persistent organic pollutants) , usage of DDT for malarial control is justified but it puts a restrictive use of DDT as pesticides in other areas.
The answer is D . Hope this helps ! (:
For Plato it think its c-Flowers of corn are pollinated by the wind. They are small and lightweight to allow easy pollination by the wind.<span> They do not need to attract animals or insects and are therefore colorless and odorless.</span>
