Answer:

The correct answer will be B.(Can cause cancers)

Explanation:

Somatic mutations are mutations present or found in the somatic cells or non-germ-line cells.

since these mutations are present in the somatic cells and not in the germ cells so they cannot be passed on to the progeny.

But these mutations in the somatic cells can cause  tumor which can lead to cancer. This happens if the gene causing cancer for e.g- Proto-oncogene or tumor suppressor gene is involved in cell division is mutated. So, the mutated gene is passed on to the daughter cells during cell division and shows uncontrolled differentiation of cells causing cancer.

Thus, option B is correct.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The correct answer is buildup of toxins.  

One of the essential action of the liver is to process various kinds of toxins and to eliminate it out of the system of the organism. Although it is known as a toxin processor, it is not resistant to the toxins itself. As the liver is the main site for drug decontamination and stimulation, thus, the improper functioning of the liver may lead to the accumulation of toxins.
