Solution

The correct option is C
Crops are destroyed.

pH of the soil plays a very important role in the growth of the crops. As the pesticide used has a pH of 2, the acidic content of the soil is increased and is not suitable for farming at all.
The weather at a particular place, the availability of water and the nature of the soil play a very important role in crop cultivation. Usually, soil having a pH range of 6.5 to 7.2 is suitable for a majority of crops.
