Answer 1

The correct option is B Paralysis

Adulteration is a process of mixing undesirable and inferior materials in food. The material or substance which is added to food is called as adulterants. Adulterated food is impure, unsafe, or unwholesome food. Mustard oil is adulterated with argemone oil. The adverse effect of administrating a large amount of argemone oil include nervous debility, paralysis, and even death if untreated.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
