What type of chemicals may disrupt reproductive processes through exposure to food, water, soil, or air contamination?

  1. Nutrients

  2. Reproductive Toxins

  3. Vitamins

  4. Antioxidants

The correct answer is: Reproductive Toxins

Reproductive toxins are chemicals that can interfere with reproductive processes when exposed to them through food, water, soil, or air contamination. Nutrients, such as vitamins and antioxidants, are not considered reproductive toxins and do not have the same effect on reproductive processes. While they may have other important functions in the body, they do not disrupt reproductive functions in the same way that reproductive toxins do. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
