After the devastating tsunami in Japan in 2011, the Fu-ku-shi-ma nuclear power plant failed and released radioactive material into the ocean environment. How did exposure to this radiation impact the fish population in the surrounding area and the health of humans in the region?


A. Exposure to this radiation caused fish to become smaller in size, which could positively impact human health by providing more food sources

B. Exposure to this radiation altered the DNA of fish eggs and larvae as they try to reproduce, which would impact public health if people eat the fish.

C. Exposure to this radiation only impacted apex predators at the top of the food web, which would impact public health if people chose to only eat those predators.

D. Exposure to this radiation caused fish to become larger in size, which could positively impact human health by providing more food sources.
