Question

why does the author discuss large agricultural businesses?
to suggest reasons why organic food has become increasingly popular and profitable.
to explain how the presence of agri - businesses has improved the organic market.
to develop the idea that small family farms are not the primary producers of organic foods.
to show that there is no significant difference between organic and conventional foods.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Discussing large agribusinesses doesn't directly relate to organic food's popularity/profit reasons.
• Option 2: Agribusinesses (conventional) likely compete, not improve organic market.
• Option 3: If large agribusinesses are involved in organic production, it supports that small family farms aren't the main producers.
• Option 4: The focus is on agribusinesses' role in organic production, not comparing organic and conventional foods.

So the correct option is the one about small family farms not being primary producers.

Answer:

C. To develop the idea that small family farms are not the primary producers of organic foods. (Note: Assuming the third option is labeled C; adjust identifier based on actual labeling, but the text of the option is as above.)
