Solution

The correct option is C
Popularising chemical pesticides

The role of agricultural societies is to provide help and support to the farmers by providing space for storage of the harvested crops, providing loans to farmers with low interest and marketing the products without the help of mediators. They do not distribute or popularise harmful pesticides and chemicals to farmers. Chemical pesticides are harmful to the environment and also cause health issues in humans.
