Question

Which among the following is a weedicide?

• A. Agent green
• B. Herbicide orange
• C. Agent orange
• D. Both B & C

Hint:

Most chemical agents named after colors (like Agent Orange) are associated with herbicidal or defoliant properties.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A weedicide is a chemical made to destroy unwanted plants. Checking the names given here: Agent Green does not carry the same clear herbicidal identity as the other two, so it can be set aside. Herbicide Orange and Agent Orange, however, both refer to a herbicide blend produced to clear vegetation, one being the descriptive name and the other the operational name for the same substance. Since both of these names point to a genuine weedicide rather than two separate unrelated chemicals, picking only one of them would leave out an equally valid answer, and the option that covers both is needed to be complete.

Therefore, the correct answer is Both B & C.

Answer 2

A useful cue here is that the question offers a combined option, which usually signals that more than one of the earlier choices is independently valid rather than there being a single standout answer.

1. Agent green: Nothing in this option ties it to the same herbicidal identity shared by B and C, so it is not treated as part of the answer here.
2. Herbicide orange: Its function, as the name suggests, is to act as a herbicide, which makes it a weedicide in its own right.
3. Agent orange: This is simply the name under which the same herbicidal formulation referenced in option B was used, so whatever makes B valid makes this valid as well.
4. Both B & C: Since B and C describe the same class of weedicide referenced under two different names rather than two competing candidates, confirming one effectively confirms the other, and the combined option is the one that fully captures this.

Once it is clear that B and C are complementary rather than competing, the only option that does not leave out valid information is the combined one.

Therefore, the correct answer is Both B & C.
