Solution

The correct option is C Organochlorines
Organochlorines are highly fat soluble (dissolves in fat easily), but poorly soluble in water. Due to its fat-loving nature it tends to accumulate in the fatty tissues of insects, wildlife, and humans. Organochlorines are degraded very slowly and persist in environment for longer periods.
