The statement "Because the relationship is nonlinear, it is difficult to create an economic model describing the relationship between the two variables" is not entirely correct. While nonlinear relationships may be more challenging to model than linear relationships, it is still possible to create an economic model to describe the relationship between fertilizer usage and crop yield. Therefore, option C is not correct.
