Answer: B.  by toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation that can damage the DNA in cells.

Explanation:

The carcinogens presents in cigerates covalently bind to DNA and form DNA adducts which results into miscoding (e.g., insertion of the wrong base) during replication of DNA and this genetic mutation causes uncontrolled cellular growth which causes cancer.

Ionising radiation including X-rays, radioactive particles, and gamma rays,can cause cancer by damaging DNA. high-energy radiation damages DNA and cause genetic mutation same as cigerates and causes cancer.

Both toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation damages DNA inthe cells which leads to cancer.

Hence, the correct option is B.

PLEASE HELP!!! Wil give brain

Answer: Last Option (Affects All)

Reason: People may think it may be the last one because it has the most, but in fact, it affects all. When the population finds mates, and have babies, that increases the population, and over a period of time, with the limited space, it's going to be bad. The last one (C) will fill up the space faster, as there are more mates, meaning territorial problems, and babies. The first one (A) has less population, and will fill up in the most amount of time, but it still has the same process and outcome. I hope this helps. :)
