Solution

The correct option is B Cattle
We all have seen the stray cows and buffaloes roaming on the streets in search of food and water. Now, these animals tend to divert towards the dumpyards hoping to find something to eat. When these animals eat toxic waste, they get infected with fatal diseases. One such disease is fluorosis, which is very common in cattle. Fluorosis is caused when the body gets ingested by fluoride that is found in various waste disposal sites. The disease leads to various health problems like the weakening of bones, weight loss, diarrhoea, lowered fertility, as well as reduced milk production.
