Hello, the answer is b- pesticides increasing insect resistance
Continued use of pesticides has shown that, over the time, pests get accustomed to these and start showing resistance to it. This means that now this pesticide is no longer going to be useful against them. When this happens repeatedly, an insect becomes resistant to multiple pesticides making it a stronger and more dangerous threat to the crops.
