Question 17 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Which of the following is not a negative impact of pesticide use?

Answer
A
toxic to insects
B
promotion of pesticide resistance in insects
C
harmful to wildlife
D
pollution

Explanation

Pesticides are designed to be toxic to the insects they target, so this is their intended effect rather than a negative impact. By contrast, pesticide resistance, harm to wildlife, and pollution are unwanted consequences of pesticide use. Therefore, “toxic to insects” is the choice that is not a negative impact.
