remove any examples to keep the essay focused on broad trends.

Explanation:

To strengthen the essay by developing the topic thoroughly, we need to add relevant and specific details. The first option, adding specific examples like the impact of temperature changes on crop yields in different regions, provides concrete details that elaborate on the vague discussion of agriculture's effects. The other options either introduce unrelated content, disrupt flow, or reduce detail, which would not strengthen the topic development.

Answer:

A. Add specific examples, such as the impact of temperature changes on crop yields in different regions.
