Using certain hydrocarbon-based pesticides on a field not previously treated with pesticides results in immediate short-term increases in crop yield. However, long-term use results in a decrease in crop yield over time.

Use of these pesticides results in benefits that decrease over time.

This answer is unsupported. Nothing in the stimulus suggests that using pesticides causes an overall financial loss. We know there's a short-term gain, and we don't know whether the long-term decrease is enough to neutralize that gain.

This answer is unsupported. The stimulus does not give us any information about whether the pesticides damage the environment.

This answer is unsupported. The stimulus does not give us any information about whether the pesticides can ever worsen pest problems, much less make them "unmanageable."

This answer is unsupported. The stimulus does not give us any information about the manufacturers’ instructions.

This answer is strongly supported. When crop yields are elevated after the first use, financial returns also increase. As crop yields decrease over time with long-term use, so do the financial returns.
