The given is incomplete as the options are missing. The correct options for the given question are as follows-

(A) cultivation of agricultural land inhibits the decomposition of organic matter

(B) nitrogen-fixing bacteria are not as plentiful in agricultural soils because of the use of pesticides

(D) the nutrients that become the biomass of plants are not cycled back to the soil on lands where they are harvested

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

In order to carry out agricultural practices, the soil must be rich in essential nutrients for the growth of crops. The soil fertility is a key role in the production of crops.

This agricultural land often requires a large amount of these nutrients and minerals because some of the nutrient minerals are converted into plant biomass which is then used up to produce energy in other sectors. So, the nutrients that were present in the soil are taken away and not transferred back into the soil. This means that the nutrient cycle gets affected. Due to this reason, there requires a constant supply of nutrients into the agricultural fields.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

What is a hypothesis?

earnstyle [38]

Answer: D.) a suggested answer to a problem

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a supposition, suggested answer or a proposed explanation based on limited evidence which can be use to start an investigation. A hypothesis is more than a guess but less than a established theory and it can be tested through study and experiments.

<u>A hypothesis is part of the scientific method </u>because it is a prediction which can be tested and the results from those experiments may disprove a hypothesis, but can never entirely prove one.

It is not a conclusion because it is an idea which tries to explain an observation. It is not information collected from experiments because hypothesis are formulated before carrying out the experiments and it is not a widely accepted idea because it just proposes a tentative explanation about a phenomenon.
