Question

Which is most harmful for life on the globe?

• A. Deforestation
• B. Soil erosion
• C. Increasing deserts
• D. Nuclear fallout.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Nuclear fallout.

Nuclear fallout, or simply fallout, is the residual radioactive material propelled into the upper atmosphere following a nuclear blast or a nuclear reaction conducted in an unshielded facility, so called because it "falls out" of the sky after the explosion and the shock wave have passed. While deforestation, soil erosion and increasing deserts can be controlled, nuclear fallout causes genetic mutation in humans and destruction that cannot be controlled or cured.
