Solution

The correct option is B Rabbits
Minamata disease is caused because of eating of poisoned animals which contain water-soluble dimethyl mercury which undergoes biomagnification. Thus, animals that feed on marine animals (especially fish) and plants suffered from this disease, rabbits remained free from this disease because they feed on terrestrial plants.
So, the correct option is B rabbits.
