Question

what can excessive irrigation (or watering of crops) result in?
pesticide residue
soil salinization
consistent disease
habitat destruction

Explanation:

• Pesticide residue is related to pesticide use, not irrigation.
• Excessive irrigation can raise the water table, bringing salts to the soil surface. When water evaporates, salts accumulate, causing soil salinization.
• Consistent disease is more about pathogens or poor crop management, not direct irrigation excess.
• Habitat destruction is a broader environmental issue less directly linked to crop irrigation excess compared to soil salinization.

Answer:

B. soil salinization (assuming the options are labeled with A, B, C, D where B is soil salinization; if original labels differ, adjust to the correct identifier with the text "soil salinization")
