The problem you've presented is a multiple-choice question about the advantages of owning farm machinery. To solve this, we need to evaluate each option provided step by step. Let's consider each choice:
a. None of the above.
- This option is only correct if none of the other answers is an advantage.
b. Less risk of obsolescence.
- Farm machinery, like any other technology, can become obsolete as newer, more efficient models are developed. Owning machinery actually entails a risk of obsolescence, so this is not an advantage.
c. May be less expensive for low-use machines.
- If the use of the machine is so infrequent that renting would be more expensive than owning, this could be an advantage. It depends on the cost comparison between owning and renting for the amount of usage.
d. Complete control over use.
- When you own machinery, you decide when and how it's used without being subject to rental availability or the conditions set by a rental company. This is generally considered an advantage of ownership.
Considering these points, the most clear and advantageous aspect of owning farm machinery would be complete control over its use. Therefore, the correct answer is:
d. Complete control over use.
