The correct answer is C, soft water can attack lead contained in pipes. Soft water is water that has been treated to remove calcium and magnesium ions, making it less "hard." While soft water is generally seen as beneficial, one potential downside is that it can corrode pipes made from lead. This is because the lack of minerals in soft water makes it more acidic, and the acidity can cause the lead in the pipes to dissolve. This can have negative health effects if the dissolved lead is ingested.
