Which criterion relates to the restricted-use classification for pesticides in Illinois?

• A. Certification is not required for restricted-use products
• B. The product is restricted-use and requires certification
• C. All general-use products require certification
• D. The product must be certified organic

Answer: (B)

Restricted-use pesticides are defined by the requirement that only certified individuals may purchase or apply them. In Illinois, this classification exists precisely to ensure users have proper training in safe handling, application, and environmental protection. The choice that says the product is restricted-use and requires certification directly captures this requirement, making it the best answer.

Explain why other ideas don’t fit: general-use products do not require certification for purchase or use, which is why they’re not described as restricted. The notion of being certified organic isn’t related to how pesticides are classified for restriction and certification in Illinois.
