The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Term "Biopesticides":** - The term "biopesticides" can be broken down into two parts: "bio" and "pesticides." - "Bio" refers to living organisms, while "pesticides" are substances used to kill pests. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Option A:** "The chemicals which are used to destroy the pest." - This option refers to synthetic chemicals like insecticides and pesticides, which do not fit the definition of biopesticides. - **Option B:** "The living organism or their products which are used for pest control." - This option aligns with the definition of biopesticides, as they are derived from natural organisms and can include bacteria, fungi, or plant extracts used to control pest populations. - **Option C:** "The organism which destroy the crops." - This option describes pests themselves, not biopesticides. Pests are harmful organisms that damage crops, whereas biopesticides are used to control these pests. - **Option D:** "None of the above." - This option is incorrect because option B correctly defines biopesticides. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer:** - After analyzing all options, the correct answer is **Option B**: "The living organism or their products which are used for pest control." **Final Answer:** Biopesticides are the living organisms or their products which are used for pest control. ---
