Lead is commonly found in paint, soil, and old pipes, and can damage the brain and nervous system, even at fairly low levels. It can lead to attention problems, lower IQ scores, and poorer school achievement. DDT and tetrodotoxin do not have the same neurological effects, and while mercury can also impact the brain and nervous system, it is not as common in paint and soil. Therefore, the best choice is A) lead.
