The name "X-Pest 5G" on a pesticide label indicates which of the following?

1. Granular pesticide with 5% active ingredient

2. Granular pesticide with 5% inert ingredients

3. Gel pesticide with 5% active ingredient

4. Liquid pesticide with 5% active ingredient

The correct answer is: Granular pesticide with 5% active ingredient

The name "X-Pest 5G" on a pesticide label indicates that it is a granular pesticide formulation. The "5" in its name specifies that the product contains 5% active ingredient. This is a standard way of labeling pesticides, where the first part of the name often identifies the type of formulation (in this case, granular), and the number signifies the concentration of the active ingredient by percentage. Granular pesticides are commonly used for applications such as soil treatments or to control pests in a targeted area, and the specification of the active ingredient helps applicators understand how much of the effective component is present in the product.
