Puck · Answer 1

A)

Explanation:

b and e kills organisms, so it doesn't evolve the diseases. genetic modification causes the plants to be resistant, and doesnt target diseases, so the disease isnt evolved. only antibiotics make diseases evolve, overuse of it causes the disease to develop resistance if it isnt completely killed off.
