  1. Carbamates

  2. Carrier

  3. Chemical Degradation

  4. Carcinogen

The correct answer is: Chemical Degradation

Chemical degradation is the breakdown of chemicals that is triggered by a chemical reaction with water, without the involvement of living organisms. This process differs from the other choices, which are all related to living organisms in some way. Carbamates are a type of pesticide that can be broken down by microorganisms. A carrier is a substance that helps transport another substance, often in the context of living organisms. A carcinogen is a substance that can cause cancer and is often linked to living organisms and their biological processes. Chemical degradation is the only option that accurately describes the breakdown of chemicals without any involvement of living organisms.
