    Correct Answer
    A. Diseases
    Explanation
    It is very important to use pesticides on crops to protect us from diseases that could be transmitted. Pesticides help to control the spread of diseases by killing or repelling the insects or pests that carry them. Without the use of pesticides, crops would be more susceptible to disease outbreaks, leading to reduced yields and potential food shortages. Additionally, diseases contracted from crops can also pose a risk to human health, making the use of pesticides crucial in safeguarding our well-being.

The sentence discusses people's concerns about genetic engineering going too far and accidentally creating something. Genetic engineering involves modifying genetic material, so it aligns with the idea of creating something unintentionally. The other options, such as contracted, diseases, remedies, resistant, species, and transmitted, do not fit the context or make sense in relation to genetic engineering.
