The correct answer is

a. pesticide subsidies were costing money, causing pollution, and decreasing yields.

Pesticides were used way too much and were not only destroying food but were harming people. Too many pesticides leave traces in food and people can get poisoned over time if they consume this food on a regular basis. That's why the government started supporting Integrated Pest Management.
