• A. They are eco-friendly
• B. They turn the fields barren after some time
• C. They adversely affect the useful component of the soil
• D. They destroy the soil fertility

Answer 1

The correct option is A

They are eco-friendly

Biofertilizers can be used in the soil as it enhances the productivity of crops and increases the fertility whereas chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not eco-friendly. They reduce the soil fertility over the period of time. They cause soil pollution and if they are washed off into the nearby water bodies, they cause water pollution. So they are harmful for health.
