The correct option is A Biomagnification
Biomagnification is also known as bioamplification or biological magnification. It can be defined as, increase in the concentration of a pollutant up the food chain, which affects the organisms at the higher level of the food chain. In order for the biomagnification to occur, the pollutant must be long-lived, mobile, soluble in fats, and biologically active. E.g. DDT. So, the correct answer is option A.
