The correct answer is: Application of chemicals to manage pests

Chemical control methods involve the use of chemical substances, such as pesticides or herbicides, to manage pest populations. Option A, the use of predators, is a biological control method and involves the use of natural enemies to control pest populations. Option B, manual removal of invasive species, is considered a physical or mechanical control method. Option D, cultivating disease-resistant plant varieties, is a cultural control method that focuses on preventing pests from attacking plants through various farming practices. Hence, option C is the only correct response that specifically includes the use of chemicals to control pests.
