Option (i)
i.e., Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A is the answer since pesticides are the synthetic toxic chemicals with ecological repercussions and their repeated use gives rise to pests that are resistant to that group of pesticides and hence making the pesticides ineffective.
