Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Fatty tissue
Chlorinated hydrocarbons are not soluble in water. They tend to combine with the adipose or the fatty tissues in the body of animals, including the humans. DDT is a type of such hydrocarbons and these are responsible for showing biomagnification as the food chain goes up because of increased consumption by the consumers and their tendency to accumulate in the fats. From the fatty tissues, these can be localised to the myelin sheath of neurons, connective tissues etc. and cause various diseases.Hence, the correct answer is 'Fatty tissue'
