ease of application.
B
highly adjustable nutrient content.
C
bioavailability of nutrients.
D
lack of nutrient runoff problems.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synthetic fertilizers contribute very little to the ecosystem or structure of the soil. May actually decrease soil fertility due to chemical nitrogen stimulating excessive microorganism growth, which, over time, depletes organic matter in the soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilizers boost crop yields, but their excessive usage has hardened the soil, reduced fertility, strengthened insecticides, polluted air and water, and emitted greenhouse gases, creating health and environmental risks.

Detailed explanation-3: -1) Healthier animals and healthier meat. The livestock on organic farms is free to roam and the animals only consume grass and certified organic feed. 2) No additives. 3) No GMOs. 4) No chemical pesticides. 5) Better for the environment. 02-Aug-2021
