Reregistration

The correct answer is: Pyrethroid

Pyrethroids are synthetic insecticides that mimic the properties of naturally occurring chemicals called pyrethrins, which are derived from chrysanthemum flowers. Pyrethroids are commonly used in insecticides due to their effectiveness in controlling a wide range of insects while posing minimal risks to mammals. Option A, "Ready-to-Use (RTU)" refers to a pesticide product that does not require dilution before application, making it convenient for immediate use. Option C, "Pump" typically refers to a pump sprayer used to apply pesticide solutions onto target surfaces. Option D, "Reregistration" pertains to the re-evaluation and renewal process for pesticide products by regulatory agencies to ensure their continued safety and efficacy in the market.
