Solution

The correct answer is b. Teratogens cause physical defects in a developing embryo. Teratogens are substances or factors that can cause malformations or abnormalities in an embryo or fetus. They can include certain drugs, chemicals, or even infections during pregnancy. They do not induce genetic changes, which is the process of mutation. They can potentially cause adverse effects on the nervous system, but this is not their primary definition. Therefore, the most accurate answer is b.
