Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

DDT is known as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. It is able to dissolve easily in fats and it remains for a long time into the atmosphere.

It causes harm to animal life, aquatic life and human life as it is very toxic in nature.

If DDT is consumed then it can lead to lymphoma, leukemia, and pancreatic cancer. Also, its manufacturing is inexpensive hence, it is used widely.

Therefore, we can conclude that DDT is a dangerous environmental pollutant because it remains in the environment for a long time.
