D Correct answer
Explanation

Chlorinated hydrocarbons are lipophilic (fat-loving) and accumulate in fatty tissues through biomagnification - they can't be easily metabolized or excreted, and their concentration increases up the food chain. They don't significantly accumulate in bones, brain, or skin compared to fat deposits.
