D. All of the above.

The type of chemical, its concentration, and weather conditions where said chemical is introduced are factors that determine how harmful an introduced chemical will be in the environment.

Examples of chemicals that are harmful to our environment are:
1) organochlorines - compounds like polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) originally developed for use in electrical equipments as cooling agents. They are carcinogenic and capable of damaging the liver, nervous system, and the reproductive system in adults.
2) dioxins - by-product of the manufacturing, moulding, or burning off of organic chemicals and plastics that contain chlorine. An environmental and health hazard.
3) cadmium - used in batteries, plastics, pigments and metal coatings. Produced by mining and other industrial activities. Accumulation will lead to kidney and bone diseases.

Explanation:

Feebleminded people are the people who are unable to make wise and timely decision about any situation. They are mentally unstable and ill. They are generally called foolish or half baked people.

In the early twentieth century, women who were feebleminded were thought to give birth to the children who will also be feebleminded, but with the passage of time, mental illness has been accepted socially by people and they have understood a lot that it is not necessary that feebleminded women reproduce feebleminded offspring. This is called the social construction of mental illness.
