Why would a defoliant be applied to a crop?

To enhance root growth
To promote leaf development
To improve fruit quality
To aid in harvesting by causing leaves to fall off

The correct answer is: To aid in harvesting by causing leaves to fall off

A defoliant is a type of pesticide that is specifically designed to cause the leaves of plants to drop off. This can be beneficial in agriculture when crops need to be harvested efficiently. By causing the leaves to fall off, defoliants make it easier to access and harvest the fruits or vegetables without the interference of excessive foliage. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
