Answer 1

The answer is definitely the first one, the reasons are: A.) Fertilizer helps plants grow faster and they help the plant produce more.

                                                                                      B. ) Pesticides kill harmful insects that would otherwise ravage the food supply. 

                                                                                      C.) The easier it is to farm, more food you can make in a short amount of time. Allowing for higher food production.
