What is indicated by the signal word 'Danger-Poison Peligro' on a pesticide label?

It causes mild irritation
It is safe if used appropriately
It is highly toxic and can be lethal at low doses
It is organic

The correct answer is: It is highly toxic and can be lethal at low doses

The signal word 'Danger-Poison Peligro' indicates that the pesticide is highly toxic and can be lethal at low doses. This means that even small amounts of the pesticide can be harmful to humans and animals. Option A is incorrect because mild irritation is not as significant as the potential for death at low doses. Option B is incorrect because the signal word 'Danger-Poison Peligro' suggests that the pesticide may not be safe to use even if used appropriately. Option D is also incorrect because being organic does not necessarily indicate whether a pesticide is harmful or not. It is important to pay attention to this signal word on the label and take proper precautions when handling the pesticide.
