B Correct answer
Explanation

Organic food is defined by being grown without synthetic chemicals. "Without" is the only preposition that clearly indicates the absence of inorganic substances. "Except" would imply they are used in some cases, which contradicts organic principles. "Rather" and "instead" don't convey the necessary meaning of absence in this context.
