Solution

The correct option is A Teeth

Excess of fluoride in water causes fluorosis, which leads to severe bone and joint deformities or gastrointestinal and neurological problems. Dental fluorosis is a disturbance of dental enamel caused by excessive exposure to high concentrations of fluoride during tooth development. Skeletal fluorosis is a bone disease caused by excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones.
