Native species

Invasive species

Non-cible organisms

Organisms that are not affected by pesticides are known as non-target organisms. This means they are not intended to be killed or controlled by the pesticide, but may still come into contact with it. Option A refers to organisms that are native to a particular area. Option B refers to species that are introduced to an area and have a negative impact on the ecosystem. Option D refers to insects that are beneficial for pest control. While these organisms may also be unintentionally affected by pesticides, they are not specifically targeted by them. Option C is the best answer because it specifically refers to organisms that are not intended to be affected by pesticides.
