Best answer

Correct option(a) teeth

Prolonged intake of fluoride polluted water causes stiffening of bone and joints, particularly spinal cord. Due to the affinity with calcium, fluoride stores in bones which causes mottling of teeth, bone pains and outward bending of legs from the knees. This is known as knock knee syndrome.
