The Question:

The farmer found that alot of caterpillars were eating his crops. The farmer sprayed alot of pesticides onto them. Which of the following is correct?

My answer:
Crops-increased
Fruits-increased

Reason: Even if the pesticides kill some of the plants, pesticides will kill most of the caterpillars. Since there are no more caterpillars feeding on the leaves, the number of crops will increase and therefore, the number of fruits will increase.

No i think it should be veg increase fruit decrease.
Reason:The farmer spray pesticides and kills caterpillars,so less caterpillars will be eating veg so veg will increase.If caterpillar decrease, the number of butterfly will also decrease. So there will be less butterfly to pollinate the fruits,making the fruits decrease
