Solution

The correct option is A Lead
Lead is a toxicant that has multiple effects on the body. It gets stored in teeth and bones and accumulates there making them hollow and weak. It is released in the blood leading to a high concentration of lead which causes deformity in children during pregnancy. It affects the brain and kidney functioning.
