Solution

The correct option is C 4% NaOH and 1% H3PO4 solution
Activated charcoal can adsorb organic substance like DDT & Endrin. Ion exchange resins remove certain dyes & chlorinated pesticides. Deactivated charcoal can be activated again by treating with 4% NaOH followed by 1% H3PO4.
In this method, the fluoride ion concentration can be reduced from 512 ppm to 1 ppm.
