The correct answer is - D. It was the first officially recognized case of the industrial pollution of seawater.

The Minamata disaster, or more often referred to as Minamata disease, was discovered in Japan, in the city if Minamata, in the year of 1956. It was practically a heavy pollution of the seawater caused by the Chisso factory, which was releasing methylmercury through its wastewater. The people, through eating sea food were getting diseased and very dying, and the same happened to the animals as well. The pollution was extending over a period of 36 years, from 1932 to 1968 until it was finally stopped.

They are the only mammals capable of self-powered flight, but they’re by no means rare. Bats account for about one in five of all mammals living on the planet and there are around 1,300 bat species worldwide. They are, however, threatened by loss of natural habitat and hunting, and many species of bat are considered endangered or threatened.

Though they’re the only mammals to have developed the ability to fly, they’re extremely good at it. The Mexican free-tailed bat can achieve speeds up to 99 miles per hour in the air and fly as high as 10,000 feet, as high as a bald eagle.

They’re the only flying mammals and are extremely diverse

The type of coasts are formed by he submergence of U-shaped glacial troughs. These coasts are characterized by deep waters, apart from the mouth of the fjord when it's usually more shallow, steep high walls that often rise straight above the water, and tributary branches joining the main inlet at right angles.

This type of coasts are only found where there's fjords/fiords.

Deforestation is the largest challenge which is currently being faced by the Amazon rainforest. Soy farming and cattle ranching is further increasing the problem of deforestation.
