Solution

The correct option is C Highly prone to pests
Monoculture is the agricultural practice of growing a single crop or plant species over a wide area and for a large number of consecutive years. It is widely used in modern industrial agriculture for large harvests from minimal resources. It can lead to the quicker spread of pests and diseases due to uniform crop, susceptible to a pathogen
So, the correct answer is 'Highly prone to pests'
