A
Biotechnology (e.g., Bt crops, pest‑resistant varieties and traits that enable conservation/no‑till systems) can reduce the need for insecticide/pesticide applications and enable reduced tillage, both of which help maintain soil quality. Option B is incorrect (soil compaction does not prevent erosion and is generally harmful), and C is not generally true — biotech often simplifies pest control rather than increasing management in a way that would automatically boost soil‑conservation adoption.
