Answer: (C)

Spill kits are a safety tool in pesticide handling. They provide the materials needed to contain and clean up a spill quickly and safely, which helps limit where the pesticide can go and who can be exposed. With absorbents, containment supplies, and proper disposal instructions, a spill kit lets you stop a small release from becoming a bigger environmental problem and reduces the risk to workers. It isnures actions stay organized and minimizes contamination of soil, water, or surfaces. The kit is not meant to speed up application, store pesticide concentrates, or mix pesticides; its purpose is to manage accidental spills effectively.
