B ,I never heard any oxygen increase
Answer according to key isD.
Explanation:
Modern agriculture improves the affordability of food, increases the food supply, ensured the food safety, increases the sustainability and oxygen content near the field due to increased photosynthesis and also produces more biofuels. But with the same time, it also leads to environmental problems because it is based on high input–high output technique using hybrid seeds of high-yielding variety and abundant irrigation water, fertilizers and pesticides.
Environmental Impacts are:
Soil erosion, Contamination of Groundwater, water logging & salinity, Eutrophication,Loss of Non target species, Micro nutrient imbalances
& also
Increased photosynthetic rate:
Fertilization of feilds stimulate the enhancements of net CO2 assimilation rate . This CO2 fertilization affects and promotes the mechanism of crop response by favoring greater photosynthesis and thus increasing the level of oxygen in turn.
