Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Toxins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ciguatera is a type of toxin that is produced by microscopic marine algae. When fish feed on these type of algae, they become carriers of this toxin.

Barracuda, King mackerel and snappers are examples of fish that can carry or accumulate this toxin.

When the carrier fish is consumed by a human, the Ciguatera toxin can cause a number of symptoms and discomfort such as:

• dizziness

• numbness

• temperature sensitivity etc.
