B) different plants respond differently to glyphosate, crops have a enzyme that breaks down glyphosate to a harmless substrate.
C) crops are genetically engineered to extract higher amounts of aromatic amino acid from the soil bacteria.
D) crops have been sprayed with a soil bacteria that protects the plants from the mechanism of glyphosate.
