Correct Answer: Blue baby syndrome


Solution : The correct option is - Blue Baby syndrome.

The consumption of food and water contaminated with high levels of nitrates can lead to a condition known as methemoglobinemia, commonly referred to as "blue baby syndrome" in infants. This condition occurs when nitrates are converted into nitrites in the body, which can interfere with the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen.
