• Correct Answer: A
• Microbeads (<5mm plastic particles) bypass wastewater treatment, persist in aquatic environments, and are ingested by marine organisms, causing physical harm and biomagnification of toxins.
• They adsorb persistent organic pollutants from water.
• Wrong options are incorrect: microbeads are not linked to skin cancer, crop absorption, or food adulteration.
