which of the following statements is true about organic foods as compared to traditionally grown foods?
a) they are declining in sales and market share.
b) they have better nutrient quality.
c) they are likely to have lower pesticide residues.
d) they are always locally grown and produced.

Explanation:

• Organic foods are produced without synthetic pesticides, so they are likely to have lower pesticide residues.
• Organic food sales and market share are increasing, not declining (so A is false).
• There is no conclusive evidence that organic foods have better nutrient quality (so B is false).
• Organic foods are not always locally grown and produced (so D is false).

Answer:

C. They are likely to have lower pesticide residues.
