Question

what is an effect of growing crops with increased seed production? reduced need for water increased fertilizer and water use lower input of fossil fuels

Explanation:

To determine the effect of growing crops with increased seed production, we analyze each option:

• "Reduced need for water": Increased seed production doesn't inherently reduce water needs; crops still require water for growth.
• "Increased fertilizer and water use": Crops with higher seed production often need more resources (fertilizer for nutrients, water for growth) to support the additional seed development.
• "Lower input of fossil fuels": Increased seed production doesn't directly relate to reducing fossil fuel use; in fact, more intensive crop growth might use more machinery (powered by fossil fuels) or inputs.

So the most logical effect is increased fertilizer and water use.

Answer:

B. increased fertilizer and water use
