Solution

The correct option is D It gets accumulated in animals.
When fields are infected with pests, farmers use chemical pesticides. Chemical pesticides destroy pests and also beneficial insects completely. But these chemical substances are not degradable and get accumulated in animals and humans through the food web. The excessive use of pesticides causes many environmental and health issues.
