PhishCo runs a number of farms in the arid province of Nufa,

Expert replies

PhishCo runs a number of farms in the arid province of Nufa, depending largely on the irrigation. Now, as a part of a plan to efficiently increase the farms' total production, it plans to drill down to an aquifer containing warm, slightly salty water that will be used to raise fish in ponds. The water from the ponds will later be used to supplement piped-in irrigation water for PhishCo's vegetable fields, and the ponds and accompanying vegetation should help reduce the heat in the area of the farms.

Which of the following would, if true, most strongly suggest that the plan, if implemented, would increase the overall efficiency of PhishCo's farms?

(A) Most of the vegetation to be placed around the ponds is native to Nufa.
(B) Fish raised on PhishCo's farms are likely to be saleable in the nearest urban areas.
(C) Organic waste from fish in the pond water will help to fertilize fields where it is used for irrigation.
(D) The govt of Nufa will help to arrange loan financing to partially cover the costs of drilling.
(E) Ponds will be located on low-lying land now partially occupied by grain crops.

Option A - INCORRECT.
Most of the vegetation's to be placed around the farms are native of Nufa, but are not increasingly productive without support from other natural resources, that is why phishco is planing on increasing productivity by applying more of aquifer support.

Option B - INCORRECT.
The main reason for this assumption is not based on the after sale of the fish ponds but rather it is based on how to increase productivity in Phishco farms.

Option C - CORRECT.
This option is the most acceptable assumption that, if the plan of implementing ''Organic waste from fish pond in supplementing piped-in irrigation water for Phishco vegetable fields is successful, it will help in increasing the productivity of vegetable farming and also accompanying vegetation will help reduce heat in the area of the farms. However, fish pond water will serve as fertilizer to fields where it is used for irrigation.

Option D - INCORRECT.
The government loan may or may not affect the drilling of an aquifer, and it is not the basis of the reasoning here.

Option E - INCORRECT.
If it is partially occupied by grains crops meaning that it will also have weeds surrounding it and this can cause low productivity as this is not the reason why Phisco is planing on drilling an aquifer and will not help in increasing vegetable farming.
