Answer:

Hawk

Explanation:

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethan which is also known as DDT is a colorless, tasteless and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound. It was originally developed as an insecticide and it causes harm to wildlife animals.

When the chemical are sprayed or gets in contact with the soil it is the terrestrial organisms such as plants and primary consumers who gets affected the most due to direct contact with the chemical.
