Solution
The accumulation of pesticides at successive trophic levels is called biological magnification.
Explanation:
Biomagnification is the process where the concentration of pesticides or other toxic substances increases as they move up through the trophic levels of a food chain. Because these substances cannot be metabolized or excreted by organisms, they accumulate in higher concentrations in predators at the top of the food chain, causing potential harm to wildlife and ecosystems.
