Solution

The correct option is B fluoride
When animals eat toxic waste, they get infected with fatal diseases. One such disease is fluorosis, which is very common in cattle. Fluorosis is caused when the body ingests fluoride that is found in various waste disposal sites. The disease leads to various health problems like the weakening of bones, weight loss, diarrhoea, lowered fertility, as well as reduced milk production.
