Correct Answer: Turmeric


Solution : The correct option is Turmeric.

The lead chromate, known for its toxicity and carcinogenic properties, is used to adulterate turmeric powder. This deceptive practice enhances the yellow colour, masking impurities or inferior quality. Consumption of lead-contaminated turmeric poses serious health risks, including neurological damage, digestive issues, and even cancer.
