Which factor influences Pesticide Resistance in pests?

  1. The color of the pesticide container

  2. The shape of the pesticide application equipment

  3. Natural selection favoring survivors of pesticide exposure

  4. The expiration date of the pesticide

The correct answer is: Natural selection favoring survivors of pesticide exposure

Pesticide resistance in pests is mainly influenced by natural selection favoring survivors of pesticide exposure. This is because through exposure to pesticides, some pests may develop certain mutations that make them resistant to the effects of the pesticide. These resistant pests then survive and reproduce, passing on these advantageous traits to their offspring. The other factors mentioned in the choices, such as the color and shape of the container or equipment, and the expiration date of the pesticide, do not directly affect the development of pesticide resistance in pests.
