Answer 1

C. Pesticides protect our crops, but some European countries have

linked them to thyroid disorders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Researches involving human or sometimes animals are subject to critical decision making.

They can easily trespass on the fundamental rights of people and some other issues.

• The use of pesticides on a crop which can lead to thyroid disorder is an ethical dilemma.
• In this case, the pesticide helps to prevent crop loss due to the invasion of pests.
• This will boost food production and ensure food is available
• Likewise, the application of the pesticide causes thyroid issues.
• This is an ethical dilemma issue.
