Which control method involves breeding or selecting plants and animals to resist specific pest problems?

Genetic Control
Mechanical/Physical Control
Integrated Pest Management
Regulatory Control

The correct answer is: Genetic Control

Genetic Control is the control method that involves breeding or selecting plants and animals to resist specific pest problems. This method uses genetic manipulation to create pest-resistant traits in plants and animals. This can be done through selective breeding or genetic engineering techniques. The other options are incorrect because - Mechanical/Physical Control involves the use of physical barriers or traps to deter or kill pests. This method does not involve breeding or genetic manipulation. - Integrated Pest Management is a holistic approach that combines multiple control methods, including genetic control, to manage pest problems. However, this method does not specifically focus on breeding or selecting plants and animals for pest resistance. - Regulatory Control refers to the use of laws and regulations to manage pest populations. This method does not involve breeding or genetic techniques.
