Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrectकथन I और कथन II दोनों गलत हैं
Explanation
The definitions have been swapped. Acute exposure is a short, single or brief contact with a chemical, while chronic exposure is repeated or continuous contact over a long period. Both statements therefore state the opposite of the accepted toxicological meanings and are incorrect.दोनों परिभाषाएँ आपस में बदल गई हैं। तीव्र (acute) उद्भासन किसी रसायन के साथ अल्पकालिक, एकल या संक्षिप्त संपर्क है, जबकि दीर्घकालिक (chronic) उद्भासन लंबी अवधि तक बार-बार या सतत संपर्क है। अतः दोनों कथन स्वीकृत विष-विज्ञानीय अर्थों के विपरीत हैं और गलत हैं।More People, Development and Environment questions
