Which term refers to the absorption-enhancing adjuvant added to a spray mixture along with a pesticide?

Any substance intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating pests
A pesticide that remains active in the environment more than one growing season
Devices and apparel worn to protect the body from contact with pesticides
An undesirable organism that injures or harms humans

The correct answer is: Any substance intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating pests

The correct answer is A. This term refers to any substance intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating pests. In this case, it specifically refers to an absorption-enhancing adjuvant that is added to a spray mixture along with a pesticide to improve the pesticide's effectiveness. Adjuvants are additives that can modify the properties of pesticides and enhance their performance by improving their spread, coverage, or penetration into plant tissues. Options B, C, and D do not specifically refer to the absorption-enhancing adjuvant added to a spray mixture along with a pesticide. Option B describes a pesticide's persistence in the environment, option C relates to personal protective equipment, and option D describes pests rather than adjuvants.
