Answer 2

The right answer is C.

Uranium (U) is an element of atomic number 92,

It is a heavy radioactive metal. Its radioactivity, added to that of its descendants in its disintegration chain, develops a huge power used for generating electricity.

Uranium is also reprotoxic via a deleterious effect on the reproductive organs; either because of its radioactivity, or because of its chemotoxicity, or both.
