Which action best protects non-target species during application?

Explanation:
Protecting non-target species means minimizing their exposure to the pesticide. The best action is to avoid spraying near habitats, because staying away from areas where wildlife and other non-target organisms live directly reduces the chance of contact with the chemical. Spraying in windy conditions increases drift and can carry residues into those habitats, raising risk to non-targets. Using high-toxicity products would also raise the potential harm, not protect, non-target species. And loud equipment doesn’t address exposure to organisms, so it doesn’t help protect non-targets.
