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.

The illustration shows one of the ways resources are removed from the deep sea. There are many confusing regulations that limit
Sonbull [250]
The United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) stipulates that seabed area, which is not within the landmark of any particular country should be regarded as a common natural heritage. Consequently, any mineral found in such an area can be used by anyone. 

However, because of the abundant presence of sea area, and the way national boundaries often conflict, coupled with the problem of illegal mining practices, such laws are difficult to enforce, and so these regulations are not standardized yet.

Some possible impacts of ilegal seabed mining are:
1. Destabilisation of oceanic systems.
2. It constitutes danger to the organisms living in the hydrothermal vents.
