Solution

The correct options are
A Reduce the use of fertilisers and pesticides.
B High yield is obtained.
C Reduces deleterious effects on fish and predation.
D Reduces stem borers on paddy.
Inorganic fertilisers and pesticides cannot be metabolised by the organisms and as a result accumulate in the body of aquatic animals.
Other animals feeds on them it further get transferred and leads to the deleterious effect on both aquatic animals and animals predating on them.
The fishes are grown along with the crops they add certain organic material in the water which further promotes the growth of the crop. As a result high yield is obtained.
It also reduce the diseases in the plants such as stem borers on paddy as they are eaten up by fishes.
