Solution

The correct option is D DDT

An example of digital communication is DDT.

DDT was the first modern pesticide and is arguably the most well known organic pesticide. Overall, it is known that DDT concentrates in biological systems (particularly in body fat), that it is a toxin, and that it bioaccumulates up the food chain, reaching its greatest concentrations in higher animals such as humans.

DDT was a commonly-used pesticide for insect control in the United States until it was canceled in 1972 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). DDT was initially used by the military in WW II to control malaria, typhus, body lice, and bubonic plague (1).

DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) was outlawed in Britain in 1986 and banned as a pesticide worldwide under the Stockholm Convention in 2001 after it was discovered to be dangerous to wildlife and the environment.
