What does teratogenic refer to?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: causing birth defects in the unborn fetus. Teratogenic refers to substances or factors that can interfere with fetal development, leading to birth defects. This is the correct choice as it directly aligns with the definition of teratogenic. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because teratogenic specifically refers to harm to the fetus, not the elderly, cancer-causing properties, or endangering the mother's health.
