Question

the green revolution changed agricultural methods and allowed farmers to produce more food than ever before. however, many scientists argue that these methods are not sustainable.
which action would be most likely to limit future developments in science and engineering relating to agriculture?
a. private companies provide more money to study the effects of pesticides on genetically modified crops.
b. society supports extra funding for the development of new farming technology.
c. governments create policies to restrict research on genetically modified crops.
d. scientists use new research to develop genetically modified crops that require less water.

Explanation:

The question asks for an action that limits agricultural science/engineering developments. Option A (funding pesticide studies) and B (extra tech funding) support progress. Option D (water-efficient GM crops) is a positive development. Option C (restricting GM crop research) directly limits scientific inquiry and innovation in this area, which would hinder future advancements.

Answer:

C. Governments create policies to restrict research on genetically modified crops.
