Which of the following best describes the principle of integrated pest management?

The correct option is C

Decreasing the multiplication of pests

The basic principle of integrated pest management is not the destruction of the pests completely. Instead, it tries to decrease the multiplication of pests and to limit their numbers without the loss of crop. This is an eco-friendly method that ensures pest control without disturbing the environment. So there is no use of chemical pesticides in this type of pest management.
