【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】Cotton is more attractive to pests and pathogens than practically any other plant. That is why the high-volume usage of pesticides is a negative aspect that goes with cotton growing worldwide. Only a very small proportion of alternative growers avoid the use of pesticides completely, selling their raw materials as organic cotton. But the percentage of organic cotton in the global market is currently still small (about 25%), due partly to the higher production costs (due to lower yields and increased cultivation work) and the fact that it is not possible to get higher market prices for organic cotton garments. Consumers are not willing (or not yet willing) to pay more for organic textiles.
