The time it takes for an organism to build resistance to a pesticide.

The degree of effectiveness of a pesticide in a given environment.

The correct answer is: The legal residue limit of a pesticide on or in food at harvest.

Tolerance refers to the maximum amount of a pesticide that is legally allowed to remain on or in food at harvest. Option A is incorrect because tolerance is not related to safe ingestion levels. Option B is incorrect because tolerance does not refer to the time it takes for resistance to build. Option D is also incorrect because while tolerance does impact the effectiveness of a pesticide, it specifically refers to the amount remaining on or in food.
