Answer:
option D
option DFree radicals do not occur naturally in the body.
Explanation:
Free radicals - A free radical is any molecular species that live independently and has an unpaired electron in its atomic orbital. The existence of an unpaired electron make them highly unstable and therefore reactive.
it is not right to say that free radicals do not occur naturally in the body because they are present in the body naturally and their production can also be accelerated due to certain lifestyle like harmful chemical exposure, air pollution, etc.
