Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

It is the most appropriate choice, as it directly conveys the idea that something is harmful or hurts health. It means tending to cause harm or have a damaging effect.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Dangerous means able or likely to cause harm, injury, or damage.
  • Damaging means to cause physical or emotional harm or injury.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Anxiety and other such emotions are known to be detrimental to the body".
