Answer:
Mercury exposure during pregnancy can interfere with the normal embryonic nervous system development, resulting in cognitive (brain) impairment of the child.
Explanation:
Large, predatory fish such as shark, sword fish, king mackerel, tilefish, marlin, orange roughy and bigeye tuna are recommended to be avoided during pregnancy because they may have high concentrations of <em>methylmercury. </em>
Methylmercury is ingested by the mother and then crosses the placenta to reach the embryo. It acts as a neurotoxin, <em>interfering with the proper development of the nervous system</em> during gestation.
The consequences of this exposure vary and can go from attention deficit to microcephaly; <u><em>deficits in attention, cognition and motor skills</em></u> have been observed.
Because fish are part of a nutritious and balanced diet, and provide many nutrients beneficial during pregnancy, it is not recommended to stop consumption of all fish while expecting.
In the Unites States of America, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) have issued advice on eating fish during pregnancy. They recommend eating 8 to 12 oz of seafood low-in-mercury per week and to avoid the large fish enlisted on the first paragraph.

Answer:
C. Body composition
Explanation:
by elimination- here are the definitions of each:
<u>Physical agility</u>: Agility is defined as “a skill-related component of physical fitness that relates to the ability to rapidly change the position of the entire body in space with speed and accuracy.”
<u>Muscular endurance:</u> Endurance is the ability of an organism to exert itself and remain active for a long period of time, as well as its ability to resist, withstand, recover from, and have immunity to trauma, wounds, or fatigue. It is usually used in aerobic or anaerobic exercise.
<u>Body composition:</u> In physical fitness, body composition is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone, water and muscle in human bodies. Because muscular tissue takes up less space in the body than fat tissue, body composition, as well as weight, determines leanness.
<u>Cardiovascular fitness: </u> Cardiovascular fitness refers to the physical work capacity of an individual, in the form of amount of oxygen capacity per kilogram of body weight over time (mL/kg/min)
therefore the odd one out and your answer, is C.
