What term describes products grown without pesticides?

• A. Organic
• B. Conventional
• C. GMOs
• D. Processed foods

Answer: (A)

Organic is the term used for foods produced under standards that restrict synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, promote natural inputs, and often prohibit GMOs. Because the question points to items grown without pesticides, organic is the best descriptor. Conventional farming uses synthetic pesticides and fertilizers; GMOs refer to genetic modification, not pesticide status; processed foods describe how the product is altered rather than how it’s grown.
