    Correct Answer: Option n
    Explanation:
    (a) (i) Renewable natural resources

    Use pesticides to kill pests/control plant diseases
    Embark on public education on dangers of deforestation.

    (d) Effects of adding animal manure to garden soil

    Animal manure provides nutrients/nitrogenous materials /improves soil fertility
    Animal manure are acted upon by nitrifying bacteria
    To form nitrates for plants
    Manure improves the water-holding properties of the soil by binding the soil particles together/ improves soil structure
    Prevents soil from being blown away by wind/erosion

    (e) Possible genotypes in humans
    AA, AS, SS
