Correct Answer: Arsenic


Solution : The correct answer is Arsenic.

Due to its low arsenic content, surface water is a preferable source of drinking water. Rocks and soil contain the naturally occurring metal arsenic. Additionally, it can infiltrate water sources due to human activity like mining, and smelting. Cancer, heart disease, and diabetes are just a few of the health issues that arsenic may contribute to. Pregnant women and children are particularly at risk.
