fertilizers and pesticides

Answer 2

Fertilizers and pesticides is not a fixed capital.

Option c)

Explanation:

• Fertilizers and pesticides contain chemicals. Excess amount of these chemicals in the soil are harmful to microorganisms like bacteria, as a result of which they die.
• Fertilizers are basically chemical compounds. Because of their addition, soil fertility may get increased for a short time period, but in a long run they make the land barren.  
• Pesticides are the only toxic material released deliberately into our climate to kill livelihood things. This includes materials that kill rodents, weeds, fungus, insects and others.
• Hence, both are not fixed capital.
