Answer:

B

Explanation:The poisonous substances, present in the environment can easily get into the trophic level as living organism depends on each other and environment for food and nutrition. These poisonous substances may not be broken down in the body or excreted easily, efficiently and quickly. Instead, they accumulate in the tissues, and as the living organism eats more, the concentration of these substances increases and they pass from one trophic level to the next. The tertiary consumer being at the top of trophic levels receives the maximum pollutant. This phenomenon is known as biological magnification.

So, the correct answer is option B.
