What term describes a chemical that removes water from arthropods or destroys the waxy covering that protects these organisms from water loss?

Detoxify
Desiccant
Diagnosis
Dormant Spray

The correct answer is: Desiccant

A desiccant is a chemical substance that has the ability to absorb water, making it an effective method for removing water from arthropods and breaking down their waxy coatings. Detoxify is an incorrect option because it refers to the process of removing toxins, not water. Diagnosis is also incorrect as it refers to the identification of a disease or condition, not the removal of water. Dormant spray is incorrect as it is a method used in horticulture, not specifically targeted at arthropods.
