The correct answer is: A substance or agent able to produce abnormalities or defects in living human or animal embryos or fetuses. Not usually inheritable.

A teratogen is a substance or agent that can cause abnormalities or defects in living human or animal embryos or fetuses. These abnormalities are not usually inheritable and can result from exposure during pregnancy. It is crucial to be aware of teratogens and avoid exposure to them to prevent harm to developing embryos or fetuses. The other options provided do not accurately define a teratogen and are therefore incorrect.
