Which of the following organism is likely to have more concentration of D.D.T. in its body?

1. Herbivores
2. Carnivores
3. Top carnivores
4. Primary producers

Correct answer: Top carnivores

Solution

D.D.T. is non-biodegradable and biomagnifies through trophic levels, so its concentration increases at each step of the food chain. Top carnivores therefore accumulate the highest amount in their bodies.
