What is the area under quarantine for the Comstock mealybug?

the county of Sacramento only
all of Tulare County and a portion of Kern County
the county of San Diego only
the County of Monterey

The correct answer is: all of Tulare County and a portion of Kern County

The area under quarantine for the Comstock mealybug specifically includes all of Tulare County and a portion of Kern County due to the presence and spread of this pest. The Comstock mealybug is known to affect a variety of plants, particularly those in agricultural regions, which is why regulatory measures are focused on these specific counties. Quarantining areas helps to manage the spread of this pest and protect agricultural interests in affected regions. Choosing Tulare County and a portion of Kern County reflects a targeted response to an identified issue, allowing for better control and prevention efforts. This selection is based on where the pest has been detected and where it poses a significant risk to crops, contrasting with the other options that identify specific counties that do not encompass the areas where the Comstock mealybug has been recognized as a concern.
