What is the aim of genetic control in pest management?

Enhancement of pest dispersal
Inducing rapid pest reproduction
Managing key pests
Resistance in plants and animals

The correct answer is: Resistance in plants and animals

Genetic control in pest management aims to create resistance in plants and animals against pests, making it harder for them to infest and damage crops. Option A is incorrect because genetic control does not aim to enhance pest dispersal, but rather to decrease it. Option B is incorrect because genetic control does not aim to increase pest reproduction, but rather to decrease it. Option C is incorrect because genetic control does't solely focus on managing key pests, but rather all pests that may cause harm to crops.
