C. decreasing the space and resources available
Restricting the use of pesticides would likely lead to a decrease in the negative impacts on endangered species, as well as their habitats. By reducing the use of harmful chemicals, the space and resources available to endangered species would be less affected, ultimately helping to preserve their populations and biodiversity in various ecosystems.
Pesticides are often used by farmers to kill or control certain forms of animal life that are harming the crops. Some of the chemicals used can be biologically magnified and affect endangered species. One of the best laws we have to control pesticide use in the environment is the Endangered Species Act. Which is the most likely result of enacting legislation to restrict the use of pesticides?
A.decreasing the mutation rate in endangered species
B.causing pesticides to become more toxic to insects
C.decreasing the space and resources available
D.reducing biodiversity in various ecosystems
