The correct answer is option 1: Kerala. Endosulfan spray on cashew crop in Kerala resulted in pollution that led to a tragedy. Endosulfan is a highly toxic pesticide that was used in cashew plantations to control pests. However, it had severe environmental and health consequences. The spray contaminated water sources, soil, and air, leading to the pollution of the surrounding environment. This pollution had devastating effects on the health of the local population, including birth defects, neurological disorders, and even death. The tragedy in Kerala caused by the endosulfan spray highlighted the dangers of using harmful pesticides and the importance of adopting safer and more sustainable agricultural practices.
