For example, in India, the 10,000 varieties of rice once grown have been reduced to 10 major ones for most of the rice crop. Why is this practice of reducing the varieties of a crop dangerous? Question options: It makes the overall crop more susceptible to pests and/or disease. It reduces the variety of crops available for human diets. it requires a larger investment than small farmers can make it could reduce or cause the extinction of some predatory insectsarrow_forward
