Question

many people suffer from ______ as a result of the nuclear tests carried out in the pacific in the 1940s and 1950s.
a. exotic diseases
b. plankton overgrowth
c. genetic abnormalities
d. biodiversity
please select the best answer from the choices provided
○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Nuclear tests release radiation, which can cause changes in DNA leading to genetic abnormalities in humans. Exotic diseases are not directly caused by nuclear tests, plankton overgrowth is more related to ecological factors like nutrient changes (not nuclear tests), and biodiversity refers to variety of life (nuclear tests harm biodiversity, not cause people to "suffer from" it as a condition). So genetic abnormalities (option C) is the correct result of radiation from nuclear tests affecting people.

Answer:

C. genetic abnormalities
