Correct Answer: by using limited labour


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The phrase "whatever labour" is vague and grammatically awkward. It's unclear whether it refers to any labour available, regardless of quantity or quality, or to all the labour that was specifically available to those farmers.

The option "by using limited labour" emphasises the scarcity of labour available to the farmers, which could be a key point depending on the context.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Farmers have harvested wheat by using limited labour that was available to them."
