Which statement correctly describes ingestion hazards?

• A. Agricultural chemicals only
• B. Drugs, cleaning materials, poisonous plants
• C. Only food toxins
• D. Only household cleaners

Answer: (B)

Ingestion hazards are substances that can cause harm if swallowed, covering a broad range of items beyond just food. The statement that includes drugs, cleaning materials, and poisonous plants reflects this wide scope, recognizing medications, household products, and toxic plants as common ingestion risks that can occur accidentally or intentionally. The other options are too narrow: agricultural chemicals are just one category, food toxins are another, and household cleaners alone leave out medicines and poisonous plants. Keeping in mind these categories helps with prevention, safe storage, and recognizing when to seek help if ingestion occurs.
