Solution

The correct options are
A
Increase in pests

B
A decline in soil fertility

Farmers depend on chemical fertilisers due to the decline in the soil quality. Soil quality declines when repeated cultivation is done, which utilises up all of the soil nutrients. Financial factors and human health issues are the factors that deter the use of chemical fertilisers/pesticides.
