Explanation by: Admin

EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a chelating agent used as an antidote for lead poisoning. It binds to lead ions, forming a complex that can be excreted from the body.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) Cisplatin: A chemotherapy drug, not used for lead poisoning.
  • (C) White of egg: Contains proteins that can bind some poisons, but not a standard antidote for lead poisoning.
  • (D) Nickel: A metal, not an antidote.

Final Answer: (B) EDTA
