Answer 2

The correct answer is option a, that is, It is sometimes sprayed too far from the crops.

The use of pesticides on crops may exhibit a significant threat to the environment, mainly in and nearby to water sources with sensitive ecosystems, sources area, public drinking water, residential areas, and recreational waters.
