(B) As mechanization increase crop yields, overproduction caused crop values to decline was an unexpected consequence of mechanized farming practices

Explanation:

Mechanized farming is the process of introducing machines in agricultural practices which otherwise used to be carried out manually. The most unexpected result of the introduction of mechanized farming practices was the sharp decline in the prices of the crops.

As mechanization processes resulted in overproduction of the crops and henceforth the sharp decline in the value of crops. In addition to the decline in the value of crops, mechanization also had a harmful effect on the environment.
