• C. Because of their cheap rates
• D. Because of their abundance

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

To prevent biodegradation

Bioherbicides are the natural agents which are used for the controlling the growth of weeds. These are insects, pests or other forms of microbes which are used for removal of the weeds. These herbicides do not cause environmental problems like reduction in the quality of the soil, leaching of chemicals in the groundwater, runoff of the chemicals in the water bodies, etc. This prevents the biodegradation of the environment by using natural herbicides replacing the chemical herbicides.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
