Solution

The correct option is C Weeds

Biocontrol is the control of pests, diseases and weeds of crop plants using biological agents. These reduce crop yield and have traditionally been controlled by pesticides and weedicides. Biocontrol involves control using living organisms instead of chemicals to reduce the burden on the environment and to make use of harmless means to combat pests.
