The correct answer is option B, that is, a neighborhood there had been built over a toxic dump.
In 1978, Love Canal, situated close to the Niagara Falls in the upstate New York, was a nice small working-class enclave with many houses and a school. It just occurred to have been sitting at the top of 21000 tons of toxic industrial waste, which had been buried underground in the 1940s and 50s by a local company.
The families living in the chemicals were not familiar that they were being encountered with poisonous chemicals, nor were they aware of the chemical wastes being dumped into the soil, rivers, and air. The toxic wastes influenced the lives and damaged the environment.

11. c. crossing-over. Notice how one of the bottom arms of each of the gray and white chromosome overlaps with each other, then their genes switch to the other's arm. That's called crossing over, when homologous chromosomes' genes flip-flop with each other.
14. b. meiosis. Gametes are special daughter cells that are either sperm or egg for sexual reproduction. Since genes are shuffled and daughter cells are not like parent cells, this is meiosis. 1 parent --> 4 non-identical gametes.
16. a. centromeres. During late prophase and all of metaphase of mitosis, identical sister chromatids are fused together at the center of the chromosome "X" by what's called a centromere. Then, during anaphase, the sisters are pulled apart, at these centromeres, by spindles attached to centrioles toward opposite sides of the cell.
17. c. Metaphase only. Although late prophase has this appearance of chromosomes, the best answer is probably only metaphase. It's not in anaphase because that's when sister chromatids are pulled apart at their centromeres.
