The correct answer is A.
Toxins and various pollutants increase in concentration through the food chain in a process called biomagnification. This means that the organisms on the top of the food chain, like the herring gull, have many times greater concentration of toxins than the lower food chain level organisms because they prey on lower food chain level organisms. If a herring gull ears 100 herrings, it will have a 100x times greater concentration of toxins in its body than a herring.
