according to me it should be B

1. 'foreseeable' is an adjective which should not be used as the object of a sentence (eg 'this work cannot be done' is preferable over 'this work is not doable')

2. secondly, i think, 'weather conditions that cannot be foreseen' goes better with 'spraying of pesticides can be carefully planned' (not quite sure if this is a good enough reaons though)

what is the oa??? anyone can see some major error in D?
