Question

green revolution and genetic engineering
able to increase food production in a multitude of
ways. one way crop yields were increased involved
cultivating a single crop species, or monoculture, over a
large area. another way they were able to increase
production was through high inputs of water and
manmade fertilizers. this helped by increasing the
intensity and frequency of cropping.

what is \monoculture?\
planting genetically modified organisms

growing multiple crop species

cultivating a single crop species over a large area

Explanation:

The text states "One way crop yields were increased involved cultivating a single crop species, or monoculture, over a large area". By matching this definition with the options, the third option matches the given definition of monoculture. The first option is about genetically modified organisms (not related to the definition of monoculture here), and the second option is the opposite of cultivating a single crop (as it says growing multiple crop species).

Answer:

C. cultivating a single crop species over a large area
