The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Biomagnification**: - Biomagnification is a process that describes how certain substances, particularly pollutants, increase in concentration as they move up the food chain. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The question provides four options: a. High production in agroecosystems b. High production in marine systems c. Increasing concentration of pollutants into higher trophic levels through successive food chains d. Increasing concentration of pollutants into organisms of lower trophic levels through the food chains 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option a** and **Option b**: These options discuss production in ecosystems but do not relate to the concept of biomagnification. - **Option c**: This option correctly describes the process of biomagnification, where pollutants become more concentrated at higher trophic levels. - **Option d**: This option incorrectly states that pollutants increase in lower trophic levels, which is not the case in biomagnification. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option c**: "Increasing concentration of pollutants into higher trophic levels through successive food chains."
