Correct Answer: The usage of chemicals, insecticides and pesticides


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The change from "use" to "usage" is a subtle improvement, making the sentence more formal and grammatically accurate. Usage is a noun, while use can function as both a verb and a noun.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The usage of chemicals, insecticides, and pesticides began after the Green Revolution.
