B.
Herbicides

Organic fertilisers
-
D.
Pesticides
Correct Answer:
C. Organic fertilisers
Explanation:
Organic fertilizers are not toxic to non-target soil organisms because they consist of natural materials that enhance soil health and support microbial activity. Unlike synthetic fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides, which are chemically formulated to eliminate specific pests but often cause unintended harm to beneficial species like earthworms and microorganisms, organic fertilizers provide essential nutrients that stimulate the growth of diverse and useful soil populations. Studies indicate that while chemical pesticides can disrupt ecological balances and reduce soil fertility, organic options typically promote a more resilient and productive soil environment.
