Solution

The correct option is B Endosulfan treatment
The government carried out an endosulfan treatment on the cashew crops in Kasargod. Over 15,000 acres of land were sprayed with endosulfan using helicopters. This contaminated the air and water, resulting in very serious health problems for the locals.
