What problem do anti-coagulant rodenticides cause in the body?

  1. Liver damage

  2. Kidney failure

  3. Internal bleeding and prevention of blood clotting

  4. Severe allergic reactions

The correct answer is: Internal bleeding and prevention of blood clotting

Anti-coagulant rodenticides work by preventing the blood from clotting, leading to internal bleeding and potentially fatal consequences. Option A, liver damage, may be a result of prolonged exposure to these toxins, but it is not the main problem caused by anti-coagulant rodenticides. Similarly, option B, kidney failure, may occur as a result of the internal bleeding and harm to other organs caused by the rodenticides. Option D, severe allergic reactions, is not a common consequence of anti-coagulant rodenticide exposure and is not the main problem caused by these toxins in the body. Therefore, option C is the best and most accurate answer to the given question.
