• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is D

4

Option: (D) Fallout refers to 'radioactive debris caused by a nuclear explosion or accident' and also to the 'adverse side effects of a situation.' In options (a), (b) and (c) the use of the word is agreeable with the meaning of the word. In option (d) 'fallout of several of his good students...' does not make sense.
