Final answer:

Amit is at risk of contracting botulism from eating peas from a severely dented can.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amit is at risk of contracting botulism from eating peas from a severely dented can.

Botulism is a potentially fatal disease caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

When a can is severely dented, it can create an anaerobic environment where Clostridium botulinum can grow and produce its toxin.
