Answer 1

The correct option is B

Pesticide builds up in the animal body

Bio accumulation of pesticides occurs when this substance builds up in the body. The body does not have proper mechanisms to remove it. These cannot be broken down, and they get stored permanently. Pesticides usually accumulate in fat layers.
