Ivan Daugherty · Answer 1

The correct answer is - option A.

Explanation:

Price floor is a minimum price determined by the government at which a particular item can be sold. It is legal to sell the item on the minimum price which is often imposed by the government when farmers or sellers of the item convince that market price is not fair without a price floor.

In this case the farmers are farmers use improved, drought resistant seeds, which lowers the cost of growing soybeans which can transform the price floor.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A.
