E – This question is very tricky. All of these metals cause renal injury of some sort. I was only able to confirm actual proximal tubular necrosis associated with mercury and chromium. I searched Olson’s, Poisindex, and Goldfranks. I did not see the word “necrosis” when reading about cadmium, lead, or lithium; however, all that I read regarding the nephrotoxic effects of lithium occurred in the distal tubules.

B? I don’t know what answer they’re looking for. I can’t find any information on camphor related to glucose in PI, Olsen’s, or even Goldfranks, but google says it can cause hypoglycemia. Chronic use can mimic Reye syndrome. It doesn’t cause hepatomegaly, but it can cause elevated transaminases and granulomatous hepatitis. I have no idea about tolerance.
