Answer»

Right choice is (C) Liver; the mutagen is processed

Best explanation: Rat is a mammal similar to human being. In us the food undergoes several processing steps than it would in CASE of a simple prokaryote LIKE bacteria. Thus, using a rat liver extract ENSURES that the functional state of the substance is in the extract ensuring more efficiency. Liver processed all the toxins so its extract is used.
