Herbicides are primarily used for?

Management of plants
Controlling bird populations
Eradication of mites
Controlling snail populations

The correct answer is: Management of plants

Herbicides are chemicals that are mainly used to control or manage undesirable plants or weeds. These chemicals are specifically designed to target and destroy plants, making option A - management of plants - the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they refer to the use of herbicides for controlling bird populations, eradicating mites, or controlling snail populations, which are not the primary purpose of herbicides. These uses may be a secondary effect of using herbicides, but they are not the main reason these chemicals are used. Therefore, option A is the most accurate and appropriate answer.
