Brody Dennis · Answer 1

a. wash and/or peel fruits and vegetables before eating

Explanation:

In order to avoid exposure to pesticides, it is better to wash the fruits and vegetables before eating, or peel the outer layers of fruits and vegetables. The effect of pesticides is the most on the outer surfaces of the fruits and vegetables. Washing or peeling of fruits and vegetables reduce the effect of pesticide, and hence it is safe.
