The correct response highlights that pesticides are designed to control various forms of plant or animal life. This includes not only insects but also weeds, fungi, and in some cases, rodents. Pesticides are classified into several categories based on their target organisms: insecticides target insects, herbicides target weeds, fungicides target fungi, and rodenticides target rodents. This classification showcases the versatility of pesticides, allowing users to manage a broad spectrum of pests that can harm crops, gardens, or structures.
