Answer 1

The correct option is C

unwanted plants growing along with the crop

The correct option is option C.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Weeds tend to compete with crops for food, space and light, and other nutrients.
2. Due to this weeds take up all the nutrients and reduce the growth of plants and sometimes kill them.
3. Thus, it is necessary to destroy weeds.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

Option A: Weeds are not main crop plants, they are unwanted plants in cultivated fields.

Option B: Weeds are the plants that harm the crops. So a weed is actually a plant, not an insect or pest.

Final answer: Weeds are the unwanted plants growing along with the crop.
