Solution

The correct option is B Black foot disease
Drinking water rich in arsenic over a long period leads to arsenic poisoning or arsenicosis. In China (province of Taiwan) exposure to arsenic via drinking-water has been shown to cause a severe disease of the blood vessels, which leads to gangrene, known as black foot disease.
So, the correct answer is 'Black foot disease'
