Answer:

(B) DDT was considered harmful and was replaced by other pesticides.

Explanation:

DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a chemical used to kill pests or other insects. It is also responsible for controlling malaria during World War II, as mentioned in (D). To date, it is still considered as the most effective pest control to control insects carrying the malaria disease.  

Its controversy was reported when Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring book was released, detailing how the wildlife has been damaged due to environmental impact stemming from the use of DDT. It was found that DDT was responsible for the decline of bird of preys (falcon, eagles) in the United States due to its effects on their eggs.  

We can say from here that (B) was the right answer since due to widespread perception of its toxicity, DDT was banned from use in many countries, despite disagreements from the scientific community who believes that the hysteria over DDT was mostly unfounded.

While the Cenozoic is often incorrectly referred to as the "Age of Mammals", in what time period were synapsids the dominant ter
Misha Larkins [42]

The correct answer is A. Permian.

Explanation

The synapsids were terrestrial vertebrate mammals or animals related to them rather than to reptiles or birds that lived during the Permian (a period that began about 299 million years ago and ended about 251 million years ago) and were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates during it. These animals survived until the Triassic; however, due to the Permian-Triassic extinction, they were not the predominant vertebrate as in the previous period. Later, during the Cretatic and Jurassic periods, their development was minimal and did not have great importance as reptiles were dominant in this period. So, the correct answer is A. Permian.
