Which of the following was the result at the U.S. Supreme Court in Bates v. Dow Agrosciences, LLC, the case in the text in which Dow filed a declaratory judgment seeking a determination that farmers' claims were preempted by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) ? The farmers had sued Dow over a pesticide that allegedly failed to perform as claimed and that damaged peanut crops.

D) The Court ruled that while an attempt to require that the defendant change its label was allowed under FIFRA, a claim for monetary damages was preempted.
E) The Court ruled that while the plaintiffs could proceed with claims of fraud, all other claims were preempted.
