IPB stands for Integrated Pest Management Program. Which option best describes its name?

• A. Hazard
• B. Immune System
• C. Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM)
• D. Host

Answer: (C)

Integrated pest management emphasizes using multiple methods together in a single, coordinated plan to manage pests. The name describes this organized approach: a program that combines prevention, monitoring, and a mix of control methods to reduce pest problems with minimal environmental impact. That’s why the phrase Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM) is the best match—it explicitly names the organized program that uses an integrated approach.

The other terms don’t fit because they describe concepts unrelated to the pest-management naming: a hazard refers to danger or risk, an immune system is a bodily defense mechanism, and a host is the organism pests live on or in.
