Question restatement: How can we control/kill weeds like dandelions in a lawn without killing the grass?

Option 1: 'Herbicides are used when the weeds are actively growing but the grass is still dormant.' This statement is misleading because in many lawns the grass is actively growing during the growing season, and applying herbicides when weeds are active but grass is dormant is not the typical recommended timing. The key idea is not simply that weeds are growing; it’s about selectivity and timing to avoid harming the grass, which this option does not address directly.

Option 2: 'Only natural organic oils and vinegars can control weeds in a lawn, not synthetic herbicides.' While there are organic or nonselective options, this claim is false as a blanket rule. Many lawns are managed with selective herbicides that target broadleaf weeds while sparing grass, and synthetic herbicides can be effective and safer for grass when used properly. This option overstates limitations and ignores proven selective products.

Option 3: 'Some herbicides are selective for broadleaf plants and work by disrupting the fine balance of biochemical processes that occur in these weeds.' This is correct because selective herbicides are designed to target broadleaf weeds (like dandelions) without harming grasses. They achieve this by interfering with specific biochemical pathways or physiological processes that are more critical in broadleaf species than in grasses, allowing the lawn to remain healthy while weeds are controlled.

Option 4: 'It is not possible to selectively control weeds in a lawn' This statement is inaccurate. There are well-established selective herbicides that control broadleaf weeds in lawns without damaging the turf, making selective control feasible. This option contradicts standard lawn-care practices and available products.

In summary, the accurate concept is that selective herbicides exist which target broadleaf weeds by disrupting biochemical processes specific to those plants, enabling weed control with minimal or no harm to grass. The other statements either mischaracterize timing, overgeneralize about organic versus synthetic products, or claim selectivity is impossible, which contradicts common lawn-management knowledge.
