Solution
The correct option is B DDT
- The different trophic level of an ecosystem interacts with each other and they are interdependent on each other.
- Biological magnification is a process where pollutants such as pesticides or heavy metals move up the food chain, passes into rivers or lakes and are consumed by aquatic organisms such as fish, which in turn are eaten by large birds, animals or humans.
- It occurs when the concentration of a substance, such as DDT or mercury, in an organism, exceeds the background concentration of the substance in its diet.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
