C, without a doubt. Unless the exam writer is a secret corporate shill for the pesticide industry. In which case, I'm going with B and creating a nice little 'exotic' oasis. Mwahaha!

Trick question, obviously! It's C, and anyone who says otherwise is just trying to 'exotic-ize' the landscape. Tsk tsk.
