Pesticide resistance is

a. accumulation of pesticides in fatty tissues.

b. the death of individuals of a nontarget species.

c. pesticide tolerant individuals who survive and reproduce, which makes the pesticide less effective for future pest generations.

d. only effective to control rodents.

The answer is C- Pesticide tolerant individuals who survive and reproduce, which makes the pesticide less effective for future pest generations.

Explanation:

Pesticide resistance is the genetically based, statistically significant ability of a pest to avoid toxic effects when exposed to a particular pesticide. It also describes the decreased susceptibility of a pest population to a pesticide that was previously effective at controlling a pest. They are able to reproduce offspring that are also able to resist the pesticide.

The answer is C): pesticide tolerant individuals who survive and reproduce, which makes the pesticide less effective for future pest generations.

Explanation :

The pesticide tolerant species/individuals that survive pesticide application often become less susceptible to the effectiveness of pesticides that were initially or formerly effective at controlling pests. Pesticide tolerant species evolve, develop resistant traits and pass them on to future pest generations, thus preparing future pest generations to be strong enough to resist pesticides, and reduce their effectiveness.
