This can include pollutants from industrial activities, vehicle emissions, or even natural sources like volcanic eruptions.

Is cheese ok to eat if it's named monkey?

Correct Answer
A. True

The question is asking whether it is okay to eat cheese if it is named "monkey." The answer is true because the name of the cheese does not affect its edibility.

Therefore, it is perfectly fine to eat cheese regardless of its name.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Spooter (Spider riding a skooter)". This answer is the best because it is the only option that describes a unique and imaginative concept. The other options, such as "cheese dogs", "choco walrus", and "narhmall", do not have the same level of creativity and do not make as much sense. The idea of a spider riding a scooter is unexpected and humorous, making it the most appealing choice.
