Solution

The correct option is B Mustard oil
Dropsy is a state resulting from the use of edible oils adulterated with Argemone mexicana seed oil. When the mustard oil is adulterated with argemone oil, proteinuria (specifically loss of albumin) occurs, which results in edema. It is a typical 'impurities' disease caused by an accumulation of waste products in the blood.
