B) pesticides, irradiation, or nothing that has been genetically modified

C) and pesticides, or if they have been irradiated or genetically modified

D) or pesticides, or if they have been irradiated or genetically modified

E) or pesticides, and anything that has been irradiated or genetically modified

Ans) D

A) Pesticides, irrdiation, ( food cannot contain irradiation )
B) same as A
C)and pesticides ( use of "and" is wrong)
D) correct response
E) use of "anything" is wrong. In D "they" references food.

Hence d is the correct answer

While the foods can contain three things (antibiotics, hormones, pesticides), they can not contain processes (irradiation or genetic modification).

Thus C or D seem correct.

However, C uses 'and', which means that USDA will prohibit only if the foods contain all three substances - antibiotics, hormones, pesticides (not one or two). So, if foods contain only pesticides, they will still be declared 'organic' because they do not contain antibiotics and hormones. That's incorrect.

Option D is the right choice.

If foods contain 'irradiation and genetic modification' the meaning of the sentence could be difference from what the author means to be.
Non-organic food is passed through a irradiation and genetic modification process to be irradiated or genetically modified.
