  1. Propellant

The correct answer is: Protectant

A. Propellant is a substance used to propel or spray pesticides onto plants or animals, but it does not actually prevent infection or injury from pests. B. Preplant pesticides are chemicals that are applied to the soil or seed before planting to control pests, but they do not specifically prevent infection or attack before it occurs. C.

Resistant refers to plants or animals that have natural defenses against pests and do not require the use of pesticides.
