The correct answer is: C.It increases crop yields and resistance to pests.

Explanation:

Artificial selection in agriculture is often used to increase crop yields and improve resistance to pests. Through selective breeding, farmers can develop crops that produce more food, grow faster, and are more resistant to diseases and pests, which helps improve food security and reduce the need for chemical interventions.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

A.It helps plants adapt to rapid environmental changes: Artificial selection typically focuses on traits that benefit human needs (like higher yield or disease resistance), not...
