Correct Option: C
Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control. It uses fertilizers and pesticides if they are considered natural (such as bone meal from animals or pyrethrin from flowers), but it excludes the use of synthetic petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, etc.
