Explanation

Pesticides are chemical substances specifically designed to control or eliminate pests that damage crops, spread disease, or cause nuisance. They include insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other agents targeting various pest types. The other options are too narrow - pesticides work against many types of pests, not just insects, plantlets, or weeds.
