Question
[113]. Passage: Bees, butterflies and other pollinators sustain a large share of food crops, yet pesticides, habitat loss and monoculture reduce their numbers. A field sprayed at flowering time kills foragers, while hedgerows removed for larger plots destroy nesting sites. Farmers who preserve flower strips, vary crops and spray judiciously often maintain yields with fewer inputs over time. Pollinator protection is therefore agricultural policy, not only wildlife concern: food security depends on insects that are rarely counted in yield statistics. Which inference can be drawn from the passage?
Option 1 : The passage implies that short-term yield gains from heavy spraying can hide pollination losses.
