Answer:

Option C, Lungs

Explanation:

When silica dust is inhaled it causes silicosis which in severe cases is disabling. When Silica enters the lungs , scar tissues are formed which lead to difficulty in taking oxygen. This problem usually arises when crystalline silica is inhaled continuously for a period of 15 to 20 years. Its symptoms are not visible and thus can only be determined through chest X-Ray. However, after prolonged exposure lung dysfunctions causes breathing problem, fatigue, chest pain or  respiratory failure

A population is a group of individuals of the same species that has the potential to interbreed.

  • A population is described as a collection of people who belong to the same species and cohabit a particular area.
  • A population is a subgroup of individuals belonging to a single species that coexists sexually and occupies a specific geographic area.
  • For certain species, it is simple to determine the geographic limits of a population; for other species, it might be more challenging.
  • For instance, the geographic range of plants or animals living on islands is determined by the island's border.
  • On the other hand, other species are spread over very large areas, making it more challenging to define the borders of small populations.
