Eating sharks will be of maximum risk.

Option D.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Biomagnification is a phenomenon where a toxin which is present in the environment is taken by smaller organisms and the concentration of toxins increase in concentration in higher tropic levels.

Suppose a toxin is present in sea water. It's taken by the small algae along with water which isn't metabolized by the algae, but stored in their body. Now these algae are consumed by small phytoplankton which consume a lot of algae, and the toxin present in their body, which again gets stored due to no metabolism. This even increases into smaller fishes, larger fishes and then into shark which has the maximum toxin concentration. So consumption of sharks will be of maximum health risk.

How do trees act as carbon sinks?
Romashka [77]


The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil.  Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks,  the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.
