b. lack of awareness and resources

Explanation:

• Option a: Oversupply of food is not a challenge for implementing sustainable agriculture; rather, sustainable practices aim to address food security in a balanced way.
• Option b: Lack of awareness (farmers, stakeholders not knowing about sustainable methods) and resources (funds, technology, training) is a major challenge to adopting sustainable agriculture practices.
• Option c: Increased soil degradation is a problem that sustainable agriculture aims to solve, not a challenge of implementing it.
• Option d: High reliance on chemicals is a problem of conventional agriculture; sustainable practices aim to reduce this, so it's not a challenge of implementing sustainable practices.
