Answer:

b. toxic waste

Step-by-step explanation:

The Love Canal incident became a symbol of improperly stored chemical and toxic waste. It is infamous as the location of a 0.28 km2 (0.11 sq mi) landfill that became the site of an enormous environmental disaster in the 1970s. Decades of dumping toxic chemicals harmed the health of hundreds of residents; the area was cleaned up over the course of 21 years.

Hope this helped!
