Choose the correct statement about weeds. (A) Weeds grow in the fields without being planted. (B) It is important to remove weeds from the field. (C) Weeds reduce the production of field by using the water and fertilizers given to the crops. (D) Weeds do not affect the production of crops.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) (A), (B) and (C).
Weeds are unwanted plants that grow alongside crops in agricultural fields. These plants are not intentionally sown by farmers, making statement (A) correct. Weeds compete with the main crops for essential resources such as water, nutrients, sunlight, and space. This competition adversely affects the growth and yield of the main crop, validating statement (C).
Hence, timely removal of weeds is necessary to ensure that crops get the maximum share of resources for healthy growth, which makes statement (B) correct as well.
However, statement (D) is incorrect because weeds do indeed affect crop production by reducing both quality and quantity of yield.
