Many farmers have begun to switch from traditional crops to genetically-modified crops, which help to increase yield and protect against potential loss from disease or insect infestation. In doing so, however, these farmers take a large risk: at any point, the government could ban or heavily restrict these genetically-modified crops, rendering an entire year’s work useless.

Which of the following can be inferred from the information above?


A. It is riskier for a farmer to grow genetically-modified crops than to grow traditional crops.

B. The government should consider the impact that a law against genetically-modified crops would have on farmers.

C. Farmers who grow traditional crops are taking a risk in doing so.

D. It is unwise for farmers to switch from traditional crops to genetically-modified crops.

E. Unless a law is passed banning genetically-modified crops, farmers are better-served by growing genetically-modified crops than by growing traditional crops.
