{'minamata disease': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'nervous disorder': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'mercury': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'nickel': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'iron': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'fish': [1, 2, 0, 0], 'lead': [7, 1, 11, 11]}
Minamata disease is a nervous disorder that is caused by eating fish that is contaminated with mercury. Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that can accumulate in the bodies of fish and other marine organisms. When humans consume these contaminated fish, they can be exposed to high levels of mercury, which can lead to neurological symptoms and damage. Iron, lead, and nickel are also heavy metals, but they do not have the same association with Minamata disease as mercury does. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 - Mercury.
