What is the role of an adjuvant in pesticide application?

To dilute the pesticide
To improve the smell of the pesticide
To change the color of the pesticide
To affect how a pesticide works or enhance its action

The correct answer is: To affect how a pesticide works or enhance its action

An adjuvant plays a crucial role in pesticide application by enhancing the action or effectiveness of the pesticide. Options A to C are incorrect because they do not address the main purpose of an adjuvant. Diluting the pesticide (option A) may reduce its potency and therefore, its effectiveness. Improving the smell (option B) and changing the color (option C) may make the pesticide more appealing but do not directly affect its performance. Therefore, the best option is D - to affect how a pesticide works or enhance its action.
