Which factor is more likely to cause pesticide drift?

High humidity and low temperature
Low wind speed and rainfall
High wind speed and dry conditions
Intense sunlight and calm weather

The correct answer is: High wind speed and dry conditions

High wind speed and dry conditions are more likely to cause pesticide drift because wind can easily carry particles of pesticides over long distances, especially when the air is dry. Low humidity can also make the small droplets of pesticide stay in the air longer, increasing the chance of drift. The other options are incorrect because while they may affect pesticide drift to some extent, high wind speed and dry conditions are the most significant factors.
