Answer:
The options
A) Small weeds began to grow and develop.
B) There was no distinct change in the corn fields.
C) All of the corn died due to a rampant corn disease.
D) The corn mutated to form a new species of vegetable
The CORRECT ANSWER IS A)
A) Small weeds began to grow and develop.
Explanation:
There is a very high tendency for Farmer Scott to observe the small weeds that had started to sprung up and continued to grow while he was away for some time in his corn field. The field was kept during those times without any use of the necessary protection methods such as pesticides or insecticides. The weeds still grew at the farm without weed clearing for two whole weeks, which must have resulted in the observed raise in growth. The weeds will compete with the corn plants for soil nutrients as the weeds will absorb a greater portion of soil nutrients than the corn plants. It results in shortage of nutrients for the corn.
Therefore, the right option is A)
Small weeds began to grow and develop.
