The correct answer is C.The pesticide is traveling through the food chain.

Explanation:

The pesticide is used to kill pests that harm our crops but these pesticides have harmful effects on animals live there. These pesticides get into herbivores body when they eat crops on which pesticides are used.  

Then when these primary consumers are eaten by carnivores the pesticide gets transferred to them and like this, they travel in the food chain. So by this pesticide can be found in carnivores that live far from the land.  

The level of pesticide gets increased in animals present at a higher level which is called biomagnification. So the right answer is C.
