D. crop must be harvested by hand

Explanation:

Organic product is the term used to refer to foods produced without the addition of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It is a term widely used by the media and its use began with the idea of producing lettuce and vegetables without these chemical additives, to avoid contaminated products and poisoning. In addition, animal products are those where chemicals have not been used and animals have access to the outdoors.

There are even industrialized organic products, which are those that contain 95% organic ingredients in their composition.

Harvesting of organic vegetables may be manual or mechanical provided no chemical is used.
