D Correct answer
Explanation

Inorganic fertilizers are water-soluble and can be quickly leached from soil by rain or irrigation before plants absorb them. This wastes money, pollutes waterways, and requires frequent reapplication. Organic fertilizers release nutrients more slowly. Note: option B has a typo ('easy' misspelled as 'esay').
