Which type of organism is killed by pesticides?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pesticides are generally used to kill pests such as insects, mites, and other arthropods, as well as weeds, so choice B, fungi, is not correct. Pesticides can also have negative impacts on non-target organisms such as birds and mammals (choices A and D), as well as humans (choice C), so those options are also not correct. Therefore, the best choice is B, since it is the only option that correctly identifies a group of organisms that are often targeted by pesticides.
