Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
Detailed Explanation:
E-waste from computers contains heavy metals used in electronic components: Beryllium (motherboards, connectors), Cadmium (rechargeable batteries, circuit boards), Chromium (corrosion protection in steel plates), Mercury (fluorescent lamps, switches), and Lead (solder, CRT monitors).
Heptachlor is an organochlorine insecticide, not used in electronics, and Plutonium is a radioactive element found only in nuclear applications, not in computers.
